INFORMATION PROF.
GRAEME BRADFORD PUBLICATIONS AND RECORDINGS
Prof.
Graeme Bradford has served the Seventh-day Adventist church with distinction
as a pastor, evangelist and professor in the theology department of
Avondale College. He has conducted seminars in many parts of the world,
helping thousands to better understand and experience biblical truths.
He
has written numerous articles, prepared a Bible Course for Global Mission,
and edited three magazine on Archeology and the Bible. At the
request of the South Pacific Division he is preparing a Revelation
Seminar course together with Prof.
Jon Paulien. He has authored
several books. His latest book More than a Prophet, is explained and offered below. Prof.
Bradford earned a B. A. Degree in theology from Pacific Union College;
a M. A. Degree in Religion from Andrews University and a D. Min. Degree
from Trinity International Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. Though
he is currently retired, his ministry of writing, lecturing, and reclaiming
former Adventists continues relentlessly.
The book More than a Prophet was born out of the raging controversy over the credibility
of Ellen White as an inspired writer. Books, videos, and thousands of websites are attempting to
destroy the credibility of the gift of prophecy manifested in the ministry
and writings of Ellen White. Surprisingly, most of the material attacking
Ellen White, has been produced by former Adventists, some of whom were
church pastors.
In
More than a Prophet, Prof. Bradford
defends the true nature of Ellen WhiteÕs ministry, by showing
how her ministry was perceived by herself, her son ÒWillie,Ó and church
leaders who worked closely with her. These leaders, including the General
Conference President A. G. Daniells, who assisted Ellen White for many
years, expressed their fears at the 1919 Bible Conference, that the
Church was heading in a wrong direction in its understanding and use
of her writings.A few ultra-conservative leaders wanted to glorify Ellen
White as an infallible authority on everything that she wrote and said.
Unfortunately,
the worst fears expressed at the 1919 Bible Conference were realized
as cultural pressures were brought upon the Church which caused an unrealistic
and inaccurate understanding of her ministry. This has resulted in the
perception prevailing among many Adventists that Ellen WhiteÕs writings
are like Òfax messagesÓ she received directly from God.
Fortunately,
this misconception is slowly being corrected today, as numerous studies
produced during the past 25 years, have shown the human aspects of Ellen
WhiteÕs life and writings. Adventism is gradually returning a full circle
by coming back to a more biblical understanding of her gift, that recognizes
her human limitarions. This intriguing story is revealed in BradfordÕs
More than a Prophet.
The
book has been favorably evaluated by respected Adventist church leaders,
scholars, and some officers of the E. G. White Estate. You can read
a sampling of their evaluations at the end. The favorable endorsements
ought to facilitate the acceptance and circulation of Moe than a
ProphetÑ a book that is urgently needed to restore confidence
in the validity of the gift of prophecy manifested in the writings,
preaching, and teachings of Ellen White.
Over the years thousand of Adventists have left the
church, claiming to have found serious mistakes and contradictions in
Ellen WhiteÕs writings. They assumed that prophets are inerrant all
the time, no matter the topics or circumstances of their writings. Their
departure from the church could have been prevented in many cases, had
they been given the opportunity to understand what the Bible teaches
regarding the gift of prophecy, namely, that prophets are human. There
are times when they communicate a message from God, but there are also
times when they speak their own mind.
Bradford
reaches this conclusion through a careful study of how the gift of prophecy was manifested in Bible prophets. In fact he devotes the
first 100 pages of his manuscript, to an analysis of the biblical understanding
of the working of the prophetic ministry. This provides the basis for
evaluating the ministry of Ellen White in the second part of the study.
This
book has been long overdue and will do much to restore confidence in
the validity of the gift of prophecy manifested in the writings, preaching,
and teachings of Ellen White Ð a woman who has left such a rich legacy
not only for the Seventh-day Adventist Church but for the world at large
