Some of the greatest cruelty has been perpetrated in the name of religion. Everything seems to depend on the kind of god people worship. Arbitrary, tyrannical gods tend to produce followers like themselves. Millions who see no sense in worshiping such a god, have simply turned away.

What kind of neighbors would a friendly god produce—a god who values nothing higher than freedom and individuality, a god who would rather treat his followers not as servants but as friends?

Arthur Graham Crowder Maxwell (18 July 1921 – 28 November 2010), often abbreviated as A. Graham Maxwell, was a Seventh-day Adventist theologian, and the emeritus professor of New Testament studies at Loma Linda University. In a 1985 survey of 55 religion teachers at North American Adventist colleges, Maxwell tied for fourth place among most influential Adventist authors.

 

He received his Ph.D. in New Testament in 1959 from the University of Chicago Divinity School. Maxwell taught at Loma Linda University for the next 27 years, and for 15 of those years he was the Director of the Division of Religion. In 1988 he retired from Loma Linda University as an Emeritus Professor of New Testament.

 

Dr. Maxwell was an accomplished and popular author/speaker for much of his professional life and into retirement.
 

What We Believe -- A message from Graham Maxwell

I believe that the most important of all Christian beliefs is the one that brings joy and assurance to God's friends everywhere -- the truth about our Heavenly Father that was confirmed at such cost by the life and death of His Son.

God is not the kind of person His enemies have made Him out to be -- arbitrary, unforgiving and severe. Jesus said, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." God is just as loving and trustworthy as His Son, just as willing to forgive and heal. Though infinite in majesty and power, our Creator is an equally gracious Person who values nothing higher than the freedom, dignity, and individuality of His intelligent creatures -- that their love, their faith, their willingness to listen and obey may be freely given. He even prefers to regard us not as servants but as friends.

This is the truth revealed through all the books of Scripture. This is the everlasting Good News that wins the trust and admiration of God's loyal children throughout the universe.
