| dc.description.abstract | <p>George McCready Price was the major Seventh-day Adventist spokesperson on matters of geology and the Flood for about the first sixty years of the 20<sup>th</sup> century. While some of his pronouncements on geology were changed by later more experienced and qualified Adventist scientists, the dominant Adventist position is still committed to the literal historical understanding of the Genesis text and the global extent of the Genesis Flood. Some within Adventism have found this position to be untenable given their understanding of the biblical text and scientific evidence. A constructive open dialogue between these divergent opinions should be encouraged if the church is to fulfil its broader mission of offering both information and authority to a world in need.</p> | |
