Collection 238
Scope and Content

Raym ond Forrest Cottrell (1911-2003) was one of the leading theologians and intellectuals of the Seventh-
day Adventist denom ination during the last half of the 20 th century. He served as a pastor, m issionary to
China, college professor, associate editor of the Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary series, associate
editor of the Review and Herald m agazine, and a book editor at the Review and Herald Publishing
Association. He retired in 1977 but rem ained very active in theological discussions. He was a founder and
contributor to Adventist Today until his death.

This is a very extensive collection of well over 250 scholarly papers, the vast m ajority of them written by
Cottrell. There are papers covering the topics of herm eneutics, exegesis, church polity, governance, and
history, Daniel, Revelation, Ellen W hite, science, plus m any others. Cottrell surely had a wide range of
interests and seem ingly an input on alm ost every subject which becam e current in the second half of the 20 th
century. Nearly all of the papers are unpublished m eaning they were designed for lim ited circulation. Many
of the papers were prepared for distribution to a church sponsored study group or com m ittee such as the
Bible Research Fellowship or the Biblical Research Institute.

Perhaps one of Cottrell’s greatest contributions to the Adventist Church was his work on the authoritative
Seventh-day Adventist Bible Commentary series. As m entioned above he served as the associate editor of
the series along with editor Francis D. Nichol. Besides editing m any thousands of pages of other peoples
work he wrote about 2,000 pages. The Com m entary articles are not signed. Cottrell provides a list of the
various authors and what books of the Bible they contributed to on the project.

A significant work of Cottrell’s which is not well known is his Eschatology of Daniel. It is at num ber 222 in the
inventory. It was never form ally published. Cottrell says the m anuscript awaits a clim ate of openness and
objectivity in the church, which is essential to a fair exam ination of the facts.”

Arrangement

The papers were originally arranged by Cottrell him self. W e retained his com m ents about m any of the
papers. This can be seen in the following Inventory. This com m entary often provides invaluable insight into
the context in which a paper was prepared. His arrangem ent followed a topical approach with the following
m ajor sections:
Corporate Bible study in the church
Herm eneutical m ethodology
Applied herm eneutics
Ford and Rea affairs
Ellen W hite and Biblical herm eneutics
Church polity, governance, and history
Science and the Bible
Unclassified.

These sections contained over 200 papers in Cottrell’s arrangem ent. In addition to the classified papers
there were a large num ber of unclassified works as well as papers not in the inventory originally supplied by
Cottrell. During processing, the Center for Adventist Research personnel attem pted to classify m any of these
previously unclassified papers. Several things were done. Previously unclassified papers were placed at the
end of each subject section. Consequently, the call num bers for these papers are not always in sequential
order. Brief descriptions of the unclassified papers have also been added; longer com m ents written have
been written in italics to distinguish them from Cottrell's rem arks. They also have been given an alpha-
num eric num ber in the register inventory. For exam ple, 219a, 219b, etc.

Provenance

Raym ond F. Cottrell originally donated the collection to the Lom a Linda University Departm ent of Archives
and Special Collections. The date of that donation is not known though it was after 1996. In 2005 the
Andrews University Center for Adventist Research asked the Lom a Linda University Departm ent of Archives
and Special Collections to m ake a photocopy of the collection. This was done.

It should also be noted that at the tim e of Cottrell's original donation to Lom a Linda that som e of the
docum ents listed in Cottrell's inventory were m issing from the collection. Such instances are noted by the
heading "Em pty folder" in the register.

THE KEYNOTE OF M Y LIFE OF SERVICE TO THE CHURCH

In retrospect the keynote of m y forty-seven years of active service to the church and twenty-five in active
retirem ent is reflected in the Apostle Paul̓s adm onition to Tim othy: “Do your best to present yourself to God as
one approved by him , a worker who has no need to be asham ed, rightly explaining the word of truth” (2 Tim othy
2: 15), first by exam ple and then corporately with and for the church. Let us begin with papers designed to
encourage the church in corporate study based on sound principles of exegesis.

1. “The Bible Research Fellow ship: A Pioneering Seventh-day Adventist Organization in
Retrospect” (25 pp., 1978). Requested by Adventist Heritage for its 5:1 sum m er 1978 issue. Bible
Research Fellowship (BRF) was the first professional organization of Adventist college religion
teachers (1943-1952). At their 1940 quadrennial m eeting in Takom a Park they voted to share the
results of their study, and benefit from one another̓s constructive criticism . The Sem inary was to take
the initiative in form ing such an organization, and annual dues of two dollars was collected from those
present. The Sem inary did nothing for three years, however, and in 1943 the religion teachers at
Pacific Union College took the initiative in form ing a local organization they called the Bible Research
Fellowship, which m et one Sabbath afternoon each m onth to hear and discuss one or m ore papers
prepared by m em bers of the group. Dr. L. L Caviness, teacher of biblical languages, was patter
familias of the group and I the secretary. Hearing of BRF, one by one the other college religion
faculties asked to participate and conduct their own m onthly m eetings- considering the sam e papers.
Eventually other church leaders joined the Fellowship, including I 7 General Conference personnel,
and world m em bership grew to 250. My com plete collection of BRF papers is on file in the Heritage
Room of the Jam es E. W hite Mem orial Library on the cam pus of Andrews University.

2. “The Bible Research Fellow ship: Its History and Objectives” (12 pp., 1950). A paper read at
the 1950 college religion teachers̓ quadrennial m eeting at Pacific Union College, following which a
vote of appreciation for the Fellowship was taken.

and writers over a ten-year period. In defense of the Fellowship when criticized by the president of the

5. “Let us Have An Associate Secretary for Biblical Research in the M inisterial Association” (6
pp., 1951). A brief paper, to be sure, but one that has had im portant results. In 1950 W . H. Branson
as president of the General Conference wrote a letter to church leaders around the world
warning them against the Bible Research Fellowship as a renegade organization because it operated
independently of the General Conference around the world. Efforts on our part to explain and clarify
proved fruitless. My ultim ate solution to the problem was for the General Conference itself to conduct
the work of the Fellowship, and thus on behalf of the Fellowship I m ade the proposal in this
paper which I sent to three personal friends: L. E. Froom , retired founder of the Ministerial
Association, R. A. Anderson, its incum bent director, and W . E. Read, head of the Defense
Literature Com m ittee, on behalf of the Fellowship. The m ills of the gods grind slowly, but the 1952
Autum n (now Annual) Council voted the Biblical Research Com m ittee into existence, with W .
B. Read as chairperson and specific directions to continue the work of the Bible Research Fellowship.
In view of m y sim ultaneous transfer from Pacific Union College to the Review and Herald
Publishing Association to edit the Bible Commentary I was voted a charter m em ber.

024005 Box 1 Folder 6

6. “A Draft Proposal for an Adventist Institute of Biblical Studies” (30 pp., August 31, 1966). All
GC com m ittees are reconstituted following each GC session. This proved disastrous for the
Biblical Research Com m ittee because new m em bers naturally wanted to go over again
projects the com m ittee had already com pleted. Continuity of m em bership was urgently
needed. Following the 1966 GC session I presented this paper to newly elected President
Robert H. Pierson. It went into effect in 1975 with BRC becom ing BRI—an institute rather
than a com m ittee. Inasm uch as Pierson had been out of North Am erica for 30 years I included a
brief history of biblical research in the church during those years.

7. “Architects of Crisis: A Decade of Obscurantism” (40 pp., 1984). During his thirteen years as
president of the General Conference, however, Elder Pierson set system atically about restoring the
corporate Bible research of the church to its level at the tim e he left in 1936 for overseas duty. He
repeatedly stated, on com m ittees and in personal conversation, his policy that adm inistrators and not
Bible scholars be involved in m aking biblical and doctrinal decisions for the church. Im plem enting this
policy, the 1969 Spring Meeting of the GC elim inated the Bible scholars of the church en masse from
the Biblical Research Com m ittee. Vigorous protests from the Sem inary, however, averted
im plem entation of this policy. Before the next m eeting of BRC, however, he achieved a
sim ilar result by appointing a num ber of non-scholars to BRC. This paper reports thirty-one incidents
over the years 1969 to I 979 in which Pierson was able to control BRC in harm ony with his policy, which
precipitated the m isguided way in which the church related to Desm ond Ford and W alter Rca at the close
of the decade. This paper explores in considerable detail the way in which Gordon Hyde and Gerhart Hasel
played significant roles in im plem enting Pierson̓s policy with respect to biblical studies. Official
biblical study and theology of the church today are still under the control of the principles and policies
they established.

12. “The Adventist Theological Society and Its Biblical Hermeneutic” (49 pp., 1992). A personal
friend of m ine and an ATS leader confided in m e that the principal objective in form ing ATS was
preservation of Gerhart Hasel̓s influence on Adventist biblical herm eneutics when he was dem oted
from being dean of the Theological Sem inary. This paper reviews the Pierson-Hyde-Hasel conspiracy
in considerable detail, and analyzes his and the ATS herm eneutic.

16. “A Contextual-Linguistic Analysis of Daniel 7” (26 pp., 1963). A paper presented to the super-
secret ad hoc GC Com m ittee on Problem s in the Book of Daniel. This com m ittee was appointed by R.
R. Figuhr and the GC Officers in response to a questionnaire I addressed to every college Bible
teacher and others versed in Hebrew, who responded unanim ously that there is no linguistic or
contextual basis for the traditional Adventist interpretation of Daniel 8: 14. My com plete file of the
forty-five papers considered by the com m ittee is on file in the General Conference Archives. Three
papers m entioned in the official list never cam e before the com m ittee. This com m ittee m et
interm ittently from 1961 to 1966, when it adjourned sine die without reaching a consensus

18. “Questions on Doctrine: A Historical-critical Evaluation.” (28 pp., 1991). This paper,
presented following a 1989 reception for W alter R. Martin in Lom a Linda, reviews the eighteen
colloquia between Martin and Donald Grey Barnhouse in 1955-1956, in which they explored
Adventist doctrine for a book on cults Martin was in the process of writing. The result was that Martin
rem oved Adventists from his category of cult.

19. “Questions on Doctrine: Footnotes to History.” (10 pp., 1989). Background incidents in the
preparation of Questions on Doctrine (QOD) for publication, m y participation in the process, the storm

20. “The Annual Council Statement on M ethods of Bible Study” (5 pp., 1987). After the GC-
appointed com m ittee had com pleted its work, ATS-oriented BRI staff m em bers added a pream ble
incorporating ATS concepts unacceptable to Adventist the m ajority of Adventist scholars.

024020 Box 1 Folder 21
21. “An Evaluation of Certain Aspects of the M artin Articles” (32 pp., 1957). At the conclusion of
the Martin-Bam house series of colloquia Martin decided to leave Adventiss out of his book on cults
and to publish a separate book on Adventists. But he wanted an official book he could cite as
evidence to classify us am ong evangelical Christians. In other words our book m ust com e out before
his. It was then decided to gather and unify our responses to his questions into book form . But we
needed som e idea of the form of his com m ents. Accordingly an editorial com m ittee of three persons
was appointed to prepare what becam e Questions on Doctrine. W anting som e idea of the nature of
his com m ents, the editorial com m ittee asked m e to review all that he and others had written on the
subject in order to estim ate the nature of his rem arks. I read everything that had appeared in
evangelical publications and sum m arized it in this paper.

25. “An Evaluation of Dr. Gerhard Hasel̓s Hermeneutic” (4 pp., April, 1973). Every paper to be
presented at the 1974 North Am erican Bible Conferences was reviewed by BRI in advance. I took
vigorous exception to a lengthy section of his paper in which he prom oted a personal idea
unacceptable to the com m ittee as a whole, and in nine places ridiculed all who did not agree with him .
Given the opportunity, he refused to m ake any changes. I requested the opportunity to spell out our
objections, and prepared this paper which I read at our evening m eeting. In view of the fact that he
was to be presenter of the conference them e— biblical herm eneutics— it was im portant that changes
be m ade. As a result he was required to delete the offensive section and all nine places where he
ridiculed those who disagreed with him .

40. “Principles of Biblical Interpretation” (30 pp., 1953). This paper was assigned by the newly
established GC Biblical Research Com m ittee, of which I was a m em ber, as a guide for people
subm itting papers to the com m ittee for consideration. Sim ultaneously an ad hoc GC Com m ittee on
Problem s in Biblical Interpretation was m eeting interm ittently to consider som e twenty-five Bible
passages in which the newly published Revised Standard Version deprived Adventists of KJV proof
texts considered im portant to the Adventist belief system . It was therefore considered appropriate to
publish m y article in the book Problems in Bible Translation, in which the ad hoc com m ittee presented
its report. Reading m y paper prior to publication G. C. President W . H. Branson took exception to four
herm eneutical procedures because he said they would disqualify him from studying the Bible, and he
perem ptorily rejected the paper. Ellen W hite specifically com m ends all four. Accordingly I added Ellen

Religious News Service, on extensive literature provided by the Synod, and personal interviews with
David Preus, president of the Synod, and Dr.John Tietjen, president of Concordia Theological
Sem inary and leader of the schism atic group. I invited both to read and criticize each article prior to
publication. The Evangelican Lutheran periodical Perspective reprinted the first five articles in a
special edition with the com m ent that it was the best evaluation of the crisis to appear in print. (The
sixth article focused on lessons Adventists could learn from the Missouri Synod experience.) My
interest in the LCMS crisis was m otivated by the fact that the sam e factors were at work in our
church, but that the SDA theological clim ate did not perm it open discussion of them . Article 6 of the
series attem pted, tactfully, to draw lessons for us Many thinking Adventists have told m e that they got

82. “On Isaiah 7:14” (39 pp., 1953). My specific assignm ent for the com m ittee Problem s of Biblical
Interpretation. See “Principles of Biblical Interpretation” above. Instead of the KJV “virgin” the
RSV reads “young wom an,” thereby calling in question the use of Isaiah 7:14 as a m essianic
prophecy and Matthew’s use of it as such.

024088 Box 4 Folder 2

83. “The Role of Israel in Old Testament Prophecy” (24 pp., 1955). During the process of editing
volum e 4 of the SDA Bible Commentary I suggested to Elder Nichol the need for such an
article as a guide to the study of the Old Testam ent prophets, which have been subject to a
plethora of weird interpretations. and he assigned m e the task of writing the article which
appears on pages 25 to 38 of volum e 4. Drawing on a card file of m ore than five thousand
classified entries com piled during the process of teaching the class Old Testam ent Prophets
com piled while teaching the class Old Testam ent Prophets at Pacific Union College, I wrote
the article that appears on pages 25-38 of volum e 4. To this I added copious Spirit of
Prophecy references so the reader would know that she approves m y interpretation of
Scripture. Elder Nichol accepted the article without changing a word but added the
parenthetical caveat on page 38: (“This rule does not apply to those portions of Daniel that
the prophet was hidden to “shut up” or “seal” or to other passages whose application
Inspiration m ay have lim ited to our tim e.”)

024089 Box 4 Folder 3 Em pty Folder.

84. “The Old Testament Perspective of Salvation History” ( l6pp., 1987). The Old Testam ent
prophets represent Israel as rem aining the covenant people and chosen instrum ent for the
salvation of the world throughout history, with the eschaton occurring at or soon after the
close of Old Testam ent tim es. Chapter 4 in The Eschatology of Daniel. This and the
preceding docum ent are closely related.

024090 Box 4 Folder 4 Em pty Folder.

85. “The New Testament Perspective of Salvation History” (36 pp., 1 994). Nearly forty tim es the
New Testam ent writers express the conviction that Christ would return “soon”--within their
generation, in harm ony with the Old Testam ent perspective of salvation history and with
Christ̓s identification of the im m inent fulfillm ent of Daniel̓s end-tim e prophecies. Chapter 12
of The Eschatology of Daniel.

024091 Box 4 Folder 5

86. “An Exegesis of 1 Corinthians 14” (51 pp., 1973). Prepared for the 1973 GC Charism atic
Com m ittee which convened at Cam p Cum by Gay in Georgia and lasted one week. A
thorough linguistic-contextual study leads to the conclusion that the tongue speaking at
Corinth was charism atic, not a foreign language. The com m ittee as a whole agreed despite
Hasel’s insistence on it being a foreign language. As chairm en of the com m ittee Gordon
Hyde lim ited each person presenting a paper to thirty m inutes, but gave Gerhard Hasel two
full hours to present and defend his paper. W ith a sincere desire to fully understand the
biblical herm eneutic on which Hasel based his conclusion, one noon hour I invited him to go
with m e on a long walk in the woods, during the course of which I discovered the basis for his
herm eneutic, according to which he can com e to a conclusion contradictory to the context. He
assum es a theory of inspiration equivalent to verbal dictation, but avoids that term . On this
basis he assum es, further, an overriding unity of Scripture according to which one passage
m ay be read into another passage even though the context indicates otherwise. He reads the
tongue speaking of Acts 2 (which he considers a clear passage) into 1 Corinthians 14, which
he considers am biguous despite the fact that context indicates otherwise.

92. “Pioneer View s on Daniel 11 and Armageddon” (29 pp., 1948). It was popularly believed that
Uriah Sm ith̓s book Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation presented the pioneer view that
Daniel 11:45 refers to Turkey as king of the north and the battle of Arm ageddon in Revelation
16: 12 to a literal battle on the plain of Megiddo. Aware that the pioneers thought the papacy
to be the king of the north and Arm ageddon a spiritual battle between the forces of good and
evil, I m ade an exhaustive study of early Adventist literature on the subject, which form ed the
basis of this paper.

93. “Notes on Daniel 11 and Armageddon” (132 pp., 1951). In 1951 the GC Defense Literature
Com m ittee gave extended study to the battle of Arm ageddon. Its chair, W . E. Read, a
personal friend, requested docum ents I had written on the subject. In response I com piled
and prepared eleven bound copies of notes and papers on the subject, one for each m em ber
of the com m ittee. Its published report (Ministry, March 1954, pp 22-27) cites this docum ent

96. “Daniel 8:14, Ellen G. W hite, and Sola Scriptura” (27 pp. 2000). A paper designed for and sent
to Jan Paulsen and perhaps thirty others in Novem ber 2000. with the objective of identifying
the problem s in the traditional interpretation of Daniel 8:14 and creating an interest on the part
of church leaders in finding a solution to them . Courteous replies but apparently no interest.
Paulsen gave his copy to Angel Rodriguez, director of the (3 Bible Research Institute in
m ind, to evaluate and said that his reply would serve as his reply too. Probably with the
1980̓s six volum e Daniel and Revelation Com m ittee report in m ind Rodriguez replied that the
GC had already studied and responded to all of the problem s. I secured and studied the six
