Questions on Doctrine
Overview
Originally produced by the Ministerial Association of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Questions on Doctrine received wide distribution in the late 1950s and early 1960s as a forthright answer to questions from Evangelicals about key elements of Adventist doctrine. Then controversy stopped its circulation. George R. Knight presents a new edition of this classic volume, with an extensive historical and theological introduction, as well as detailed in-text notations. Knight’s essays provide background on the book’s creation, and they explain the context of the crisis that shelved this classic work for more than a generation.

“There is no word, no hint, in the New Testament about abstaining from work on Sunday” (Page 147)
“Central to the concerns of Martin were four items that were widely held concerning Adventist beliefs: ‘(1) that the atonement of Christ was not completed upon the cross; (2) that salvation is the result of grace plus the works of the law; (3) that the Lord Jesus Christ was a created being, not from all eternity; (4) and that He partook of man’s sinful fallen nature at the incarnation.’7 There were other issues, of course, but those four were crucial since the evangelicals could not consider Adventists to be true Christians unless they were orthodox on them.” (Page xiv)
“We should remember that men are not automatically, involuntarily, impersonally, or universally saved en masse. They must individually accept of grace, and it is our understanding that while Christ died provisionally and potentially for all men, and nothing more can be added, yet His death is actually and ultimately efficacious for those only who individually accept and avail themselves of its benefits.” (Page 281)
“While works are not a means of salvation, good works are the inevitable result of salvation.” (Page 121)
“This is the threefold way in which the work of salvation touches human hearts. Thus we have been §119§ saved—justification; we are being saved—sanctification; and we shall be saved—glorification.” (Page 102)

QOD (Questions On Doctrine) Is the single most decisive book ever printed in the name of the Adventist Church. Causing a wave of confusion in its wake that still exists today, even though it has been out of print for almost 40 years. It threatens our identity and our distinctive message, as a statement of what we were supposed to believe. This book is good to have for reference material so we can know what was actually printed. The book contains much good material, but in order to disguise error of the doctrine Babylon it is usually mixed with the truth. This is one of the "Books of a new order". That was predicted after the the book Dr Kellogg had printed called "The Living Temple".Lynden O. Williams

This book seeks to express the fundamental beliefs of the Adventist Church in response to questions by Walter Martin and Donald Barnhouse. The views expressed in it, was an answer to views questions being put forth be the "Evangelical" churches at that time. This background is needed in order to properly understand the change of language used between those of Adventist and the larger evangelical community.
