• Tom de Bruin deposited Adventist Ethics? Laying the Groundwork for an Evolving Field on Humanities Commons 5 years, 7 months ago

    Adventist ethics is an evolving field that, thus far, has lacked compre-hensive theoretical grounding. Publications in this academic area fall into six major categories that reflect the importance of the Bible, de-nominational tradition, and cultural contexts; however, meta-ethics of an Adventist kind is yet to be developed. Therefore, this article pro-poses a paradigm building on the emphases of the extant body of literature, and calls this paradigm missional ethics. This approach is consistent with the essential aspects of Adventist theological tradition, is already exemplified in several significant publications, and encom-passes themes of moral concern that are prevalent in the denomina-tion’s Fundamental Beliefs.
