That the Festschrift is meant to be more than 'cold' research is clear from one of the articles on the book of Daniel, this one written in Spanish, on the present relevance of the last five verses of its second chapter. On the other hand, the article on leprosy (from the OT group), is an insightful summary of the implications of this condition, even when it closes off by tying it to one of the pioneers of the Seventh-day Adventists and then giving the contribution a somewhat sermonic twist. So, for instance, does the article on the unique contribution of Seventh-day Adventist theological anthropology (from the education-and-history group) simply state that conditional immortality is soul-sleeping after death and the annihilation of the lost without explaining why, and so sounds more apologetic than scientific. This alliance to a particular religious group can be regarded as undermining critical and independent scientific inquiry.

The back page features four brief recommendatory reviews of the book, two of which explicitly link it with Seventh-day Adventist scholarship. The emphasis is therefore strongly on the OT. The articles are grouped under 6 headings (in Spanish): OT (10 articles), the book Daniel (7 articles), hermeneutics (4 articles), education and history (3 articles), theology (3 articles) and NT (4 articles). Of the 39 OT books, 34, and of the 27 NT books, 23 have been referred to in this wide range of topics.

The book concludes with a list of the Biblical references used (in Spanish) and a subject index (in English). The Roman-numbered pages cover a table of contents, a preface, a biography of Merling Alomía, a list of his publications, the contact details of the contributors (of whom only three have not explicitly associated with the Seventh-day Adventist theology) and a list of abbreviations used (all in Spanish) in the collection of 31 (unnumbered) essays of which 6 are in Spanish and the rest in English. 'The end from the beginning / El fin desde el principio': Festschrift honoring Merling Alomía / Festschrift en honor a Merling Alomía. Benjamin Rojas, Teófilo Correa, Lael Caesar & Joel Turpo (editors).
