Michael W. Campbell, Ph.D., is director of the North American Division department of Archives, Statistics, and Research. He is an ordained minister who previously spent a decade in higher education in the Philippines and Texas. He is the co-editor of the Oxford Handbook of Seventh-day Adventism and just completed another book, co-written with Edward Martin Allen, entitled A Global History of Seventh-day Adventists, from Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company. He has organized or collaborated on many regular research conferences within and outside the denomination. Some previous conference topics have focused on women in Adventist history, creation care, and, most recently, the development of beliefs and creeds, as well as anti-creedalism in church history. He contributes regularly to the Sabbath School Rescue Podcast and The Ellen White Podcast. He enjoys bird watching, racquetball, and Pathfinders. He has worked on developing several Pathfinder honors, including ‘Snowshoeing,’ ‘Women in Adventist History,’ and is now working on new honors about ‘The Great Controversy’ and ‘History of the Sabbath’ for future Pathfinders to enjoy. He speaks regularly at camp meetings and other church events about Adventist history, beliefs, and church demographics and trends.
