Biographical Information:
Born in New Brunswick, Canada (Aug 26, 1870), author and educator, George
McCready Price, early became a Seventh-day Adventist and served the church as a
colporteur. He received a B.A. degree form Loma Linda College in 1912, and the M.A.
degree from Pacific Union College in 1918.
Price’s teaching career began in New Brunswick in 1897, and in 1903 he
became principal of the Farmington Industrial Academy, Nova Scotia. After a period of
research work in New York City and Washington, D.C., he taught English at San
Fernando Academy until 1913 and chemistry and physics at Lodi Academy from 1914
to 1920. From 1924 to 1928 he did research work in Europe, taught geology at
Stanborough College, and was its president for a short time. His next appointment was
to Emmanuel Missionary College where he was professor of philosophy and geology
from 1929 to 1933. He held the same position at Walla Walla College from 1933 to
1938.
Price retired from the classroom in 1938 to devote his time to writing. He
produced 23 books in all–his best known in the field of geology–and contributed
numerous articles to various journals. Among his more significant works are God’s Two
Books, The New Geology, The Predicament of Evolution, If You Were Creator, Genesis
Vindicated, and Common-Sense Geology. As an ardent creationist, he was a vigorous
opponent of the theory of biological evolution. Price died at Loma Linda, California,
Jan 24, 1963.
