Award Category: Religion & Theology 
Fernando Canale
Emeritus Professor of Theology and Philosophy
Department of Theology & Christian Philosophy
Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary
Fernando Canale, emeritus professor of theology and philosophy, joined the Department of Theology & Christian Philosophy at the Seminary in 1985.
Considered by many colleagues as a pioneer Adventist philosopher, Fernando has dedicated his academic career to explaining how good biblical and philosophical principles are crucial to support Adventist doctrines and beliefs.
Before coming to ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ, Canale worked as an instructor and then professor at River Plate Adventist College in Argentina, as well as a pastor for the Uruguay and Central Argentine Conferences.
He has published six scholarly books—three of which have been translated into other languages—and authored 49 scholarly articles in journals including ¶·Å£ÆåÅÆ University Seminary Studies, Evangelical Quarterly and the Journal of the Adventist Theological Society. Fernando is a member of the Adventist Theological Society, Evangelical Theological Society and American Academy of Religion.
With other colleagues he has recently established the Sola Scriptura Research Group with a task to assist the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the development of a methodology for its theological work. Fernando’s desire and dream is to provide the church with a desperately needed and useful tool for the study of theology.
