PROPHETIC AND DOCTRINAL PRINCIPLES IN THE FORMATION OF THE ADVENTIST EDUCATIONAL WORLDVIEW

Abstract

Adventist education stands out in the global educational landscape for presenting a pedagogical philosophy based on the doctrinal and prophetic principles of the Seventh-day Adventist Church (SDA). This article aims to analyze how these principles, especially the prophetic milestones and the writings of Ellen G. White, structure the Adventist educational worldview. The bibliographic and documentary research shows that Adventist pedagogical practice is guided by an eschatological understanding of history and a commitment to restoring biblical truth. In addition to offering a historical and doctrinal overview, the study contributes to reflection on the role of confessional education in the integral formation of the individual in a pluralistic social context. It concludes that Adventist education is not limited to a technical educational project, but assumes a spiritual mission aligned with the prophetic identity of the church that maintains it.
