in Langley, British
Columbia, Canada, has served as co�editor of
Word & Deed, A Journal of Salvation Army Theology
and Ministry, since 1998. As co�editor he has led the twice�yearly journal to focus on the Army's her-
itage of holiness and on living in holiness before the Lord. In this conversation with Major Allen Sat-
terlee, Editor in Chief, he discusses just how rudimentary a respect for the full import of God's Word
is, both in the Wesleyan tradition and at the core of identity. He also registers concern about the "semi�
starvation" that keeps Christians from living up to their high calling.
Jonathan Raymond earned his PhD in Cross-Cultural Psychology and Masters of Art in Social
Psychology from the University of Kentucky. His distinguished career in academic and public serv-
ice roles included appointments as Dean of the Faculty of Gordon College in Wenham, Massachu-
setts and President of William and Catherine Booth College in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He
helped to found the Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health and the Asia Pacific Jour-
nal of Public Health, and was awarded a medal from the Royal Family of Thailand for contributions
to the health of the people of Thailand and Asia. He serves on The Salvation Army's International
Doctrine Council and The Salvation Army Vancouver Advisory Board. His most recent publication
is a book entitled
Called to a Higher Purpose.
