Thus, they are accepted by us as truth and authoritatively reliable. • The inspiration and authority of Scripture • One God, subsisting in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit • The creation of the human race in the image of God • The fall of man and resultant human depravity • The deity of Christ, His incarnation, atoning death, and bodily resurrection • Salvation by the grace of God alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone • One holy Christian church, the Body of Christ • The second coming of Jesus Christ and the consummation of all things Core Values We affirm the authority of the Bible and believe in the integration of faith, learn- ing, and ministry. We endorse the practice of distance education as a significant contributor to the educational needs of the religious and global community. Wise men lay up knowledge ProverbS 10:14 LBCS • 5 Mission Statement (Purpose) • To provide a forum of true Christian education, premised upon our founda- tion, the Word of God. • To honor the Lord Jesus Christ in obedience to the leading and directing of the Holy Spirit. We recognize that wisdom originates with God, and is not necessarily synony- mous with knowledge. God's wisdom, based on the original Hebrew language of the Old Testament, is discernment coupled with understanding, which culminates in intelligence, as read in Proverbs 9:10. Proverbs 9:9 clarifies 9:10 by stating: "Give instruction to a wise man and he will yet be wiser. Teach a just man and he will increase in learning." Learning is a life-long process, which is supported and strengthened by study (2 Timothy 2:15). Accordingly, we provide a forum for our students to obtain a qual- ity education in Biblical wisdom by providing practical courses. In the admonition given by the Apostle Paul to his student, Timothy, there is an urgency to continue in that which he had learned (2 Timothy 3:14). This is the heart of the LBCS curriculum. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom Psalm 51:6 6 • LBCS About Our President Dr. Robert J. Long, B.Min., M.B.S., D.B.S., S.Litt.D. Executive Director/Founder r. Long was born in Kentucky and lived there until he entered the U.S. Army in 1953. After leaving the Army in 1956, he lived a rough life for the next few Dyears. Eventually, he was saved, baptized, and (in 1979) felt God's call on his life to preach. He answered that call, and after Bible school he began preaching. Dr. Long founded the radio broadcast "Salvation Unlimited" in 1985. He preached every Sunday on the radio until 2001. At the same time, he was an evangelist, preaching in churches, tents, and rented halls. Part of the time while he was doing evangelistic work, he pastored a church, whose services were broadcast over the radio. He saw many souls saved and decisions made for Christ. In 1999, Dr. Long was burdened to start a movement of independent preachers and churches who loved the Lord more than the man-made rules he found in many churches. Therefore, he founded Independent Baptist Alliance, Inc. (IBA)... God blessed his efforts. Today, IBA has ministries and churches throughout America. Dr. Long received his Bible diploma from Liberty Home Bible Institute, and degrees from Andersonville Baptist Seminary, Liberty Seminary, and Jacksonville Theological Seminary. Brother Long feels strongly that God has called him to start this school. God has greatly blessed us with the instructors whom He has provided. Each one is a gift- ed teacher; and, all of them love God. Our prayer at LBCS is that the students will enjoy their studies and use the knowl- edge they learn here to win lost souls for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Hosea 4:6 LBCS • 7 A Message from our President r. Long was saved at the age of forty. After Bible school, he started preaching on the radio and in other venues. For the next twenty years, he served as an Devangelist, pastor, and radio preacher, seeing many souls saved. He is delighted to have you consider LBCS as your place of study. There are many fine Christian institutions from which you could achieve your goals; and, we dare not boast that our ministry of education is better than all the others. But, we do believe that we are on par with them and can assure you that if you choose our school, you will be the recipient of a Christ-centered, Bible-oriented program of studies. What is distinct about LBCS? Our format and curriculum is distance learning. You are not required to leave your home or job and spend time at a traditional col- lege or seminary campus. Furthermore, there is no need for you to spend your life savings to earn a degree. Ours is a place where, if you do not wish to work toward a degree, you may enroll in our Diploma of Biblical Studies Program. The diploma and degree programs are now available for you as you set up your own pursuit of studies, and may be completed at your own pace and place. We have a no-interest time payment plan, including incentives. Liberty Bible College & Seminary is not concerned with worldly praise or acco- lades, but with purveying knowledge to our students. We recognize that many ministries are seeking the believer who has attained a certain level of Christian education exemplified in the receiving of a degree. Consequently, we seek to pro- vide a learning experience, which leads to spiritual growth and which honors God at the same time.

    Notes Introduction 1. I assessed the theological significance of this literary genre in Rapture fiction and the evangelical crisis (Webster, NY: Emmaus, 2006) and traced its origins and development in Writing the rapture: Prophecy fiction in evangelical America (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009). 2. See, for example, Steve Brouwer et al., Exporting the American Gospel: Global Christian Fundamentalism (New York: Routledge, 1996), and Gabriel Abraham Almond et al., Strong religion: The rise of fundamentalisms around the world (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003). 3. See, for example, Steve Bruce, The rise and fall of the new Christian right: Conservative protestant politics in America, 1978–1988 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1988); Steve Bruce et al. (eds), The rapture of politics: The Christian right as the United States approaches the year 2000 (London: Transaction Publishers, 1995); and Martin Durham, The Christian Right, the far right and the bounda- ries of American conservatism (Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2000). See also Robert Fuller, Naming the Antichrist: The history of an American obsession (New York: Oxford University Press, 1995), and, more generally on the political implications of religious conservatism, Terry Eagleton, Holy terror (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005). 4. See, for two most useful among the many discussions of this phenomenon, Paul Boyer, When time shall be no more: Prophecy belief in modern American cul- ture (Cambridge, MA: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1992), and Nicholas Guyatt, Have a nice doomsday: Why millions of Americans are looking forward to the end of the world (London: Ebury Press, 2007). On the politi- cal implications of evangelical prophetic belief, see, more generally, Erling Jorstad, The politics of doomsday: Fundamentalists of the far right (Nashville, TN: Abingdon Press, 1970); John M.

    The Lost Environmentalists: the Struggle Between

    THE LOST ENVIRONMENTALISTS: THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN CONSERVATIVE PROTESTANTS AND THE ENVIRONMENTAL MOVEMENT, 1970-2010 A Dissertation by NEALL W. POGUE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Thomas R. Dunlap Co-Chair of Committee, Katherine Engel Committee Members, Harold Livesay Elizabeth Ellis Head of Department, David Vaught May 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Neall W. Pogue ABSTRACT “The Lost Environmentalists” offers the first historical account delineating the relationship between the religious right, a major Christian fundamentalist led political movement and the hotly debated issue of environmental protection. Past scholars believe this political/religious group traditionally opposed environmental protection efforts due to their conservative militant culture and long-held theological interpretations that marginalized nature as a simple resource for humanity’s financial benefit. In contrast, I reveal new ways the religious right understood nature while they promoted its protection throughout the 1970s to the early 1990s. During the latter decade, the movement ultimately adopted anti-environmentalist views. The religious right’s relationship with nature and environmental protection is indeed complex and evolved over time. In response to Earth Day 1970, fundamentalists initially wanted to participate in the Earth Day observance. However, the secular environmental movement drove fundamentalists away by blaming Christianity for the ecological crisis. Nevertheless, the religious right continued promoting eco-friendly views as they built a national identity for themselves over the next twenty years. During this process, they portrayed nature sympathetically and in many cases understood it as equally important to economic prosperity.
