On April 20, 2015 the Biblical Research Institute Committee (BRICOM) convened on the campus of Loma Linda University and honored Ángel M. Rodríguez with a festschrift to celebrate his seventieth birthday. In a moving ceremony, General Conference president Ted Wilson and a number of other BRICOM members highlighted the significance of Dr. Rodríguez’ contribution to the world church. Indeed, his distinctive career as a biblical scholar has made a profound and positive impact on Adventist theology. More recently he has been involved as editor in a major project on ecclesiology, which will certainly remain a landmark on the topic for years to come. Although retired since 2011, Dr. Rodríguez continues to offer his invaluable contribution to the BRI and the Church at large. The festschrift offered to him is entitled The Great Controversy and the End of Evil and was edited by Gerhard Pfandl, with contributions from friends and colleagues of the honoree.
