Dr. Samuel Koranteng-Pipim is a Bible-believing scholar, well-known around the
world for clarifying, articulating, and defending Christian beliefs and
practices. He has spoken extensively in the various world Divisions, teaching
or lecturing at several public universities and Christian/denominational
institutions, conducting ministerial retreats, preaching at camp meetings,
church revival and evangelistic meetings, and speaking extensively at events
for youth, students, and young professionals. While greatly appreciated by many
Bible-believing church members and leaders around the world, his apologetic
writings, candid messages, and influence among young people have not always
been appreciated by theologically-liberal thought leaders within the church.
Religious Background: Born in a small village in Ghana, West Africa, he was introduced to the Seventh-day Adventist faith at a very early age. However, in his search for something "better," he gravitated towards the "gospel of power," becoming an active member and leader of a non-denominational, charismatic-renewal movement. Years afterwards, the diligent study of the Bible and the message of the book The Great Controversy led him to become a committed Seventh-day Adventist--a church he describes as "the most biblically-consistent, Evangelical Protestant denomination."

Professional Training: Dr. Samuel Pipim first trained as an
engineer at the (Kwame Nkrumah) University of Science and Technology in Kumasi,
Ghana, where he later worked as a research and teaching assistant. In 1982 he
resigned from his work at the university in order to serve the Central Ghana
Conference as its coordinator of campus ministry. He later pursued a
ministerial training at Andrews University, Michigan, where he received a
Masters of Divinity degree (1987) and a Ph.D. in systematic theology (1998),
specializing in biblical authority & interpretation and ecclesiology. The
title of his 410-page doctoral dissertation was "The Role of the Holy
Spirit in Biblical Interpretation: A Study in the Writings of James I.
Packer," and it was under the supervision of Raoul Dederen, with Clark H.
Pinnock as the external examiner.
His favorite Christian author is E. G. White, the most translated woman writer in the history of literature. (Her works can be read online through the "Devotional Classics " link on this website).
