This week we continue our series ‘Believe It or Not’ and this Sunday we look at what we believe about Baptism, with guest speaker Rev Dr Andrew Sloan from the Morling College Partnership Mission Team.

Rev Dr Andrew Sloane joined the faculty in 2002 as Lecturer in Old Testament and Christian Thought.

Born in Scotland, Andrew was raised in the western suburbs of Sydney. He studied medicine at the University of NSW and practiced briefly as a doctor before studying at Morling College. He graduated from Morling in 1990 and was ordained as a Baptist minister in 1991. Andrew ministered in Baptist churches in Sydney and Newcastle before joining the faculty at Ridley (Anglican) College in Melbourne in 1996.

His academic interests include Old Testament and Biblical interpretation, philosophical theology, bioethics and epistemology (philosophy). He has published articles in bioethics and philosophy, and his first book, On Being a Christian in the Academy (Paternoster, 2003), is based on his 1994 doctoral thesis. Andrew’s new book ‘At Home in a Strange Land’ (Hendrickson, 2008) is available now through Morling Press.

Andrew is married to Alison, and they have three daughters, Elanor, Laura and Alexandra.
