Abstract
[Just who was Andrew Walls? In the words of his hometown journalist Lindsay Bruce of the Aberdeen Press and Journal, Andrew Walls was “the world-famous Aberdeen ‘prof’ you’ve likely never heard of.”3 Bruce goes on to outline his life as a student, as an RAF officer, as a professor, as an effective city counselor and as an active force within the arts community (for which he received an OBE in 1978). His details include an Oxford scholarship, a stint in the RAF during national service, active duty on the Methodist circuit in North of Scotland, and a lifetime of scholarly engagement in African Christian history and theology.]
