Health as a Bible Teaching: How Adventist Developed It
Adventists Affirm
(2001)
Abstract
The Bible reveals Gods interest in health for the body, not just for the
soul. More than any other major group, Seventh-day Adventists have
explored and embraced the Bibles message about health.
How did we come to have a theology of health? And what are the
main elements of it, as found in Scripture? This article will not attempt
to list all of our health-related beliefs, but it will concentrate on why we
have a health emphasis i.e., our theology of health especially as this
emphasis developed in the early years of our movement.
