Lecturer’s contribution “worth the price of the book”
Avondale College of Higher Education lecturer Brad Watson has been cited for contributing to the book Mission and Development: God’s Work or Good Works?
The citation by Dr Monte Sahlin—director of research and special projects for the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Ohio, USA, and a lecturer at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University (Berrien Springs, Michigan, USA)—praises the chapter, “The God Factor: Adventism, Medical Missionaries and ‘Development’ in Papua New Guinea,” which Brad wrote.
Monte says the chapter “demonstrates that Adventist theology is particularly supportive of a holistic view that integrates social action with evangelism” and is “worth the price of the book!”
Monte’s citation appeared on the Adventist Activism Facebook, March 16.
Brad is a lecturer in international poverty and development studies in the School of Humanities and Creative Arts.
