””Alden Thompson has been one of the most significant voices in Adventist thought in the last half century. He has been influential in the major shift of Adventist thinking and feeling about the Investigative Judgment from fear to confidence. His explanation of how the supreme unwritten law of love is translated into increasingly specific laws for fallible humans remains an enduring contribution.— Ernest Bursey, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Religion, AdventHealth University

Few SDA scholars have the courage to seriously examine our core sources of faith and inspiration. Alden Thompson has done that for decades with Scripture and the writings of Ellen White. He modeled loyal scrutiny of our faith for all of us, and we owe him a debt of gratitude.— Mark F. Carr, MDiv., PhD, Regional Director of Ethics for Providence Health Alaska

Alden Thompson has helped many come to terms with problematic areas of the Old Testament. He has provided a view of inspiration that has enabled many believers to trust in the authority and relevance of the Bible while at the same time making sense of the realities that they find when they actually read what the Bible says. He has helped many gain an appreciation of the ministry of Ellen White. He has helped us understand who we are by making our Adventist history come to life. Alden is a scholar and theologian par excellence.— John Brunt, PhD, Professor of New Testament and academic vice-president (retired)”
