Frank Hasel has recently joined BRI after serving for eighteen years as dean of Seminar Schloss Bogenhofen, Austria, where he also taught theology. He has also served as director of the Ellen G. White Research Center at Bogenhofen Seminary and as a pastor in the Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavarian Conference in Germany. He has written articles for several periodicals and academic publications as well as Ministry Magazine, Adventist World, and the Journal of the Adventist Theological Society and is the author for the upcoming Sabbath-school Bible Study Guide (1/2017) on the Holy Spritit and Spirituality. His book Scripture in the Theologies of W. Pannenberg and D. G. Bloesch was published by Peter Lang and is reprinted by Wipf and Stock. He holds a PhD in Systematic Theology from Andrews University. But, above all, he is the proud father of three young men: Daniel, Florian, and Jonathan. It is a privilege to welcome a scholar with such academic and pastoral experience. As of January 2017, he will also serve as the editor of Reflections. We wish Frank Hasel a special blessing and may the Lord guide him in his new responsibilities at BRI.

“The law of God is an expression of His very nature; it is an embodiment of the great principle of love, and hence is the foundation of His government in heaven and earth.” Ellen G. White, Steps to Christ, 60.
