SDA Perspectives Gone?

Samuele Bacchiocchi

As reported earlier, famed SDA scholar and historian Samuele Bacchiocchi died last month (see SDA Samuele Bacchiocchi Died). For many years he maintained a website called Biblical Perspectives. When people with relatively popular websites die (Richard Nickels of Giving & Sharing comes to mind as do others), typically their websites stay online for quite some time.

However, even though I tried two different browsers this morning, Dr. Bacchiocchi’s site www.biblicalperspectives.com would not load. And while he and I were not always in agreement (and had major theological differences and perspectives), I also appreciated his reporting of various doctrinal/historical facts about his church (the Seventh-day Adventists).

Anyway, presuming that the Biblical Perspectives website remains gone, a useful online resource has been lost. And while I do not consider that the SDAs are part of the COGs, this loss will impact those of us in the COGs interested in various details concerning various changes and doctrinal developments.

And speaking of differing theological perspectives, an article of related interest to these matters would include SDA/LCG Differences: Two Horned Beast of Revelation and 666

UPDATE 4:58 PM: Note: The Biblical Perspectives site is back up. It must simply have been down this morning.
