This study presents the first comprehensive analysis of Seventhday Adventist interchurch relations – a 20-million member body whose ecumenical stance has so far been underresearched. For the sake of interpreting denominational involvement and reservations in Adventism as well as beyond, the study develops a new academic approach to ecumenism based on Relational Models Theory, a comprehensive social science paradigm of interpreting human relationships. The resulting typology of ecumenical interactions and the historical case study of Adventism suggest that such a relational interpretation of ecumenical interaction sheds light on many of the unresolved issues in ecumenics – such as divergent concepts of unity, difficulties in recognition processes, and the permanence of denominationalism.

"This volume gathers the proceedings of the Paris conference in Philonic studies (2017), consisting of 23 papers by contributors from 8 countries. Fifty years after the Lyon conference, it aimed at taking a retrospective look at the intellectual contexts and the academic fields in which Philonic studies have penetrated, as well as the ways in which they evolved. The work of the Alexandrian became of major importance in the history of philosophy. It has been studied as a source of cultured Christianity, in connection with Second Temple Judaism and the Alexandrian Jewish community, but also in the context of research on rabbinic Judaism, New Testament and philosophy of the imperial era.

What is the doctrine of the covenant of redemption? Why does John Gill (1697–1771), an English Baptist pastor and theologian, regard this doctrine as the kernel in his systematic theology? This book explicates how core theological doctrines in the Bible, e.g., the doctrine of God the Trinity, Christology, and soteriology, are integrated in the doctrine of the covenant of redemption from the biblical and theological perspective of John Gill. From his long pastoral experience and over fifty years of rich writing, Gill demonstrates that a careful investigation of the Bible and of God the Trinity makes him love the reality of the covenant of redemption in eternity, which is ultimately revealed by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Gill sees those who are in the gospel of Jesus Christ as the ones through whom the eternal reality of the covenant of redemption is manifested to the saved. Gill also encourages those who are in Christ to see the eternal reality of the covenant of redemption revealed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
