from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Heinz (born August 19, 1957 in Vienna ) is the director of the Historical Archives of Seventh-day Adventists in Friedensau . He researches the history of Adventists and other free churches and publishes books on this.

Education

Daniel Heinz is the son of Louisette and Hans Heinz . He studied theology with a focus on church history , first at the Adventist seminary in Bogenhofen , then temporarily at the Evangelical Theological Faculty of the University of Vienna . There, lectures by Peter F. Barton aroused his interest in the history of Protestantism in Central and Eastern Europe. Heinz continued his studies at the Adventist Andrews University ( Berrien Springs , Michigan ), where the Dutch Hans K. LaRondelle was an important teacher for him. There, Heinz received his doctorate ( Ph.D. ) in 1991 with his investigation into the history of Adventists in Austria from 1890 onwards in the context of a larger church-historical framework, characterized by Catholic dominance and state bureaucracy.

activity

Heinz initially worked as an Adventist pastor in Vienna. From 1989 he taught as a lecturer in theology and was dean at the Bogenhofen seminar. Since 1997 he has headed the Historical Archives of Seventh-day Adventists in Europe . This is affiliated to the Friedensau Theological College (near Magdeburg ) as an " affiliated institute " . Heinz teaches church history there. However, the archive is subordinate to the church leadership (Inter-European Division) in Bern .

In 1998/1999 Heinz conducted research on behalf of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Prof. Tatjana A. Pavlova) on free church pacifists, anti-militarists and GuLag martyrs during Stalinism in the Soviet Union. He is also a member of the Protestant Martyrs of the 20th Century Working Group established by the Evangelical Church in Germany in 2004 . Several research visits (in USA, Tanzania, Armenia, Ukraine and Russia) were the currently under his direction lexical project Seventh-day Adventist Church in Europe: history, identity and mission . He also wrote numerous articles in the Biographisch-Bibliographisches Kirchenlexikon (BBKL) and is editor (or co-editor) of various series on the history and theology of Adventists.
