Since 1999, Ranko Stefanovic has served as a faculty member at 美天棋牌 University. He first taught in the Department of Religion & Biblical Languages, went on to serve as department chair and then transitioned to the Seminary in 2009 as professor of New Testament.

 

Ranko is known within the Seventh-day Adventist Church and beyond as a professor and scholar with a profound love for understanding of the Book of Revelation and its beautiful message of Jesus as Savior and King of the redeemed from “every nation, tribe, people, and language.” He is a worldwide speaker able to touch both academic and public audiences. Students have noted his “passion for teaching,” “genuine love for them,” “spiritual focus,” “zeal for truth,” “open dialogue” and “sincerity and openness about hard subjects.”

 

A colleague states, “Ranko has made a huge contribution to how Adventists read the Apocalypse. He has deepened our understanding of this foundational text for Adventism and opened new directions in research that will impact our church for years to come. He teaches his students with a fatherly care and passion, which makes him one of the most loved professors in the Seminary.” Another adds, “Ranko is a beloved teacher, a good friend, an effective preacher, and an outstanding scholar.” He is “a premier interpreter of the Book of Revelation in the Seventh-day Adventist Church and continuously finds innovative ways of engaging his audience with cutting-edge research.”

 

Ranko, we congratulate you on receiving this well-deserved, prestigious academic award for your outstanding contributions to scholarly biblical studies, your tireless commitment to 美天棋牌 University’s students and your international ministry that uplifts Christ to all nations.
