Baylor is no exception, and one of the most important issues the University must face is how to achieve prominence in the world of higher education while remaining true to its Baptist heritage. It is a question that sparks disagree- ment from external constituents and within Baylor itself (see this month’s “Academic Agenda,” page 5). A survey of Baylor faculty conducted in 1995 by Dr. Larry Lyon, dean of the graduate school and professor of sociology, and Dr. Michael Beaty, director of the Institute for Faith and Learning and associate professor of philosophy, highlighted the fact that even among Baylor faculty, the intersection between faith and learning is unclear.

  • Baptist Periodicals in Alabama, 1835-1873 F
    BAPTIST PERIODICALS IN ALABAMA, 1835-1873 F. Wilbur Helmbold* The published sources of denominational news, as well as the discussion of theological and moral issues, which were available to Alabama Baptists in the pioneer period and until the middle of the 1830's were in the Baptist newspapers in the older states from whence the people had migrated to the new country. Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia all had Baptist periodicals which were known to the Baptists who moved to Alabama. The rising controversy over the missionary question was a contributing cause for the establishment of at least two anti-missionary (Old School, or Primitive) Baptist publications which also had some Alabama contacts. Signs of the Times, begun in 1832 by Gilbert Beebe in New-Vernon, N. Y., moved to Alexandria, Va., and back again to New York, was highly critical of the missionary movement and of the periodicals published by the missionary brethren. In 1835 and 1837, Beebe published letters from Alabama Baptists of the Primitive persuasion which reported on the situation in the state. It is quite likely that similar communications from Alabama correspondents were published in the Primitive Baptist, which was issued at Tarboro, N. C., beginning in 1835 under the editorship first of Elder Burwell Temples and the soon Elder Mark Bennett. 1 It was not until 1835 that the first known Baptist periodical was begun in Alabama, when Rev. William Wood established the Jacksonville Register at Jacksonville, Alabama. It ceased publication in 1836, being the first in a succession of Alabama Baptist periodicals which struggled only briefly and then succumbed because of inadequate support.

    RACE AND RELIGION IN THE BAYOU CITY: LATINO/A, AFRICAN AMERICAN, AND ANGLO BAPTISTS IN HOUSTON’S LONG CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT A Dissertation by DAVID JEFFREY CAMERON 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, Felipe Hinojosa Committee Members, Carlos Blanton Angela Pulley Hudson April Hatfield Joseph Jewell Head of Department, David Vaught August 2017 Major Subject: History Copyright 2017 David Jeffrey Cameron ABSTRACT While studies that examine religion in movements for social justice have increased in recent years, the intersections of race and religion remain understudied. Therefore, this dissertation is a relational and comparative study of Mexican American, African American, and Anglo Baptists in the Houston area as they engaged the struggle for civil rights through religious associations, churches, and leaders. It demonstrates that race and religion in Houston’s long civil rights movements produced changes in two directions: religion influenced Baptists’ involvement with the movements, and the movement itself influenced Baptists’ religious lives. I argue that from the 1910s through the 1970s, religion played a central role in Baptist efforts to both uphold and challenge the color line in Houston. Influential white Baptists attempted to protect white privilege and power by using their influence, religious organizations, and doctrine to enforce and protect the Jim Crow system toward both black and brown communities. At the same time Mexican American and African American Baptist leaders attempted to use the religious resources at their disposal to mitigate the effects of inequality and push back against racism.

    ABSTRACT Making the Bible Belt: Preachers, Prohibition, and the Politicization of Southern Religion, 1877-1918 by Joseph Locke H.L. Mencken coined “the Bible Belt” in the 1920s to capture the peculiar alliance of religion and regional life in the American South. But the reality Mencken described was only the closing chapter of a long historical process. Like the label itself, the Bible Belt was something new, and everything new must be made. This dissertation is the history of its making. Over the course of several decades, and in the face of bitter resistance, a complex but shared commitment to expanding religious authority transformed southern evangelicals’ inward- looking restraints into an aggressive, self-assertive, and unapologetic political activism. Late- nineteenth-century religious leaders overcame crippling spiritual anxieties and tamed a freewheeling religious world by capturing denominations, expanding memberships, constructing hierarchies, and purging rivals. Clerics then confronted a popular anticlericalism through the politics of prohibition. To sustain their public efforts, they cultivated a broad movement organized around the assumption that religion should influence public life. Religious leaders fostered a new religious brand of history, discovered new public dimensions for their faith, and redefined religion’s proper role in the world. Clerics churned notions of history, race, gender, and religion into a popular political movement and, with prohibition as their weapon, defeated a powerful anticlerical tradition and injected themselves into the political life of the early- twentieth-century South. By exploring the controversies surrounding religious support for prohibition in Texas, this dissertation recasts the politicization of southern religion, reveals the limits of nineteenth- century southern religious authority, hints at the historical origins of the religious right, and explores a compelling and transformative moment in American history.
