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.
