Braswell and his wife, Joan, served as the first Southern Baptist missionaries to Iran from 1968-1974. At a reception following chapel, Braswell cut the ceremonial ribbon to the newly dedicated library, where guests could view his collection of books and Iranian memorabilia. The library is open to all students and is an extension of the main library, where students can check out books from the Sam James Conference Room. Along with more than three decades of teaching at Southeastern, Dr. Braswell has served as senior professor of world religions at Campbell Divinity School in North Carolina since 2005.
