The Biblical Research Committee (BRC) of EUD is one of the longest standing BRCs of the divisions of the world Church. Most likely it is also the most active one.

It has regularly organized Bible Conference for pastors in the division, although divided in three different locations. It has responded to request from the fields, was involved in drafting statements, led out in dialogues with Adventist theologians, and it has published books that were not only sold to church members, but also placed in public libraries for free.

The latest finished project was the one on marriage, published in French and German, which was given to BRI for publication, augmentation, and further development in English. Out of this project grew the larger project of BRI that deals with marriage (volume 1, published 2015), sexuality (volume 2, to be published early in 2017), and marriage and family (volume 3, to be published in 2018).

After finishing the marriage book in French and German the BRC of EUD took on a new project that will be published in English in a book entitled “War and Military Service.” This is a very timely issue. Many chapters are already written and need to be edited.

In the meantime, the BRC of EUD has taken on a new project, which deals with a theology of work. The title is “Adventist Voices on Work and the Economy.” As in the past, EUD has invited scholars of other Divisions to help and write some chapters. While the finished product will be a production of the BRC of EUD, voices of other Divisions will be heard too. We commend EUD for these initiatives, which may become a blessing for the entire Church worldwide.
