Samuel Pagán De Jesús served as a pastor and adjunct professor before joining the faculty at Burman University. He has written various papers addressing Adventist theological issues, and contributed to the publication of Enseñanzas Bíblicas de la Fe Adventista. He contributed as an editorial assistance towards the publication of the Andrews Bible Commentary. He enjoys researching the mid-19th and 20th-century evangelical movement as it relates to modern and post-modern Christianity in general and Adventism in particular. His dissertation research compares 1970s Adventist scholar Desmond Ford with evangelical renowned scholar F. F. Bruce on the topic of justification by faith and the implications for Seventh-day Adventists’ understanding of righteousness by faith. He has given dozens of church seminars on Adventist theological and historical developments. In his spare time Samuel enjoys biking, singing, and taking long walks with his wife, Carmen (MBA).
