A New Paradigm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Korea

Abstract

The current Seventh-day Adventist Church in Korea is facing various crises. They are related to limitations of the church’s theological and spiritual paradigm of ministry and Christian life. For this reason, these problems can be solved only by renewing our church’s current religious paradigm. Then, how can the church develop this new Adventist Church paradigm of faith? First of all, it requires a criticaltheological thinking process. We will consider the following as possible approaches to successful theological reflection on the Adventist faith and practice: 1) faithfulness, 2) wholeness, 3) relevance, and 4) transforming praxis.
