On October 9, 2016 the first volume of the new Seventh-day Adventist International Bible Commentary on the book of Genesis was solemnly released to the public during a special ceremony at the Annual Fall Council at the General Conference in Silver Spring, MD, USA. Jacques B. Doukhan, who is the general editor of the new Seventh-day Adventist International Bible Commentary Project is also the author of the first volume on Genesis. A copy of the first commentary was given to all delegates at the Annual Council. Because the classic Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary was produced nearly seventy years ago the need to prepare a new commentary has become increasingly urgent. New findings that illuminate and enrich our understanding of Scripture are taken into consideration, thus increasing and improving our understanding of the Bible. The new Seventh-day International Bible Commentary is written by an international team of distinguished Seventh-day Adventist theologians and Bible scholars from around the globe. It seeks to provide Adventist church members, pastors, administrators, and scholars with a solid exegetical and theological tool in support of the specific and unique truths that the Seventh-day Adventist Church stands for. May God bless this massive project so that the next volumes will be available soon.
