The Seventh-Day Adventist church and the quest for transformational development in contemporary Nigeria perspectives from an empirical study. Missionalia, 49, 230-251. https://doi.org/10.7832/49-4050256-9507https://doi.org/10.7832/49-405https://hdl.handle.net/10566/7766This article discusses the findings of an empirical study that investigated the attitudes of different sections of the membership of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church to the socio-economic and political struggles in Nigeria. The study sought to explore how this denomination�s theology and missional orientation have limited its role in the holistic development of Nigerians. The article argues that the proclamation of the SDA Church�s unique message and its involvement in transformational development should not be mutually exclusive.enSeventh-day Adventist ChurchPovertyNigeriaReligionTheologyPoliticsArticle
