Dr. Ekkehardt Mueller, deputy director of the Biblical Research Institute, has written an in-depth study of the book of Revelation in German. Der Erste und der Letzte: Studien zum Buch der Offenbarung (The First and the Last: Studies in the Book of Revelation) was published in the series Adventistica by Peter Lang, Frankfurt am Main, 2011. The book has three sections. In addition to the introductory questions (author, time, purpose, etc.), the first section deals with the macro and microstructure of the book and the recapitulation principle in Revelation 4-11. The second section contains exegetical studies on the seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets, the two witnesses in Revelation 11, and the beast in chapter 17. The third section deals with such theological studies as the Christology of Revelation, the Second Advent, the ecclesiology of the book, the remnant, Babylon, and the sanctuary in the book of Revelation. Because the Peter Lang edition is no longer available, a second printing of the 472-page book is now available from Bogenhofen Seminary in Austria for €19.10 at www.adventistbookcenter.at. It is hoped that the book will soon be available in English.

Religious Liberty and the Character of God
The great controversy is premised on a question about God's character. Is He just? Is He loving? Is His government established upon voluntary love, or merely required compliance? Consider any war between two sides. Two nations. Two armies. Both are looking for the same thing: an edge, the one a...
