BRICOM and Faith & Science Council, 2010-2015

The BRI has a larger advisory committee called BRICOM composed of the BRI theologians, the GC officers and several General Vice Presidents, as well Adventist theologians and administrators from every division of the world church. Its membership, which is reconfigured every quinquennium following the General Conference session, provides scholarly representation in all major areas of biblical and religious research important to Seventh-day Adventists, including Old Testament, New Testament, Church History, Historical Theology, Systematic Theology, Archaeology, Missiology, and Ellen G. White. The committee also includes the directors of the several Biblical Research Committees established by the divisions.

In addition to BRICOM, BRI theologians also work closely with research scientists of the Geoscience Research Institute on the Faith and Science Council. The council provides an opportunity for both scientists and theologians to present research in areas of mutual interest, especially concerning the biblical accounts of Creation and the Flood. Several volumes currently in preparation will deal with Creation and subsequent volumes are planned that will deal with the Flood as well as other topics.
