  • The Future of Southern Baptists: Biblical Mandates for What We
    1 The Future Of Southern Baptists: Mandates For What We Should Be In The 21st Century Southern Baptists have a colorful and fascinating history by any standard of measure. From the Convention’s humble beginnings in Augusta, Georgia on May 8, 1845 (only 293 persons attended the Inaugural Convention and 273 came from 3 states: Georgia, South Carolina and Virginia),1 the Convention’s 2004 Annual could boast of 40 State Conventions, 1,194 Associations, 43,024 Churches and a Total Membership of 16,315,050. There were 377,357 Baptisms, and other additions totaled 422,350. Cooperative Program Giving for 2002-2003 was $183,201,694.14, and Total Receipts recorded was $9,648,530,640.2 This is quite impressive any way you look at it, and for all of this and more Southern Baptists give thanks and glory to God. We are grateful to our Lord for what He has done for us and through us. However, it is to the future that we must now look. In spite of periodic blips on the cultural and moral screen, our nation grows more secular and our world more hostile to “the faith once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3). Southern Baptists, in the midst of the swirling tides of modernity, have attempted to stake their claim and send a clear message on who we are. The Conservative Resurgence initiated in 1979 charted the course, and I would argue the Baptist Faith and Message 2000 was something of a defining moment.3 Still, I am not convinced we have a clear 1 Leon McBeth, The Baptist Heritage (Nashville: Broadman, 1987), 388.

  • Report on Slavery and Racism in the History of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary the SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
    Report on Slavery and Racism in the History of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY __________________ A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: We are living in an age of historical reckoning. Communities, nations, institutions, Christian churches, and denominations are now called upon to ask hard questions and, when necessary, to face hard realities. This is true of the Southern Baptist Convention, and it is true for The Southern Baptist Theolog- ical Seminary. In 1995, when Southern Baptists celebrated the one-hundred fiftieth anniversary of the found- ing of our convention, we recognized a reckoning was required. The Convention overwhelmingly adopted an historic resolution which, among other affirmations, stated: Our relationship to African-Americans has been hindered from the beginning by the role that slavery played in the formation of the Southern Baptist Convention; many of our Southern Baptist forbears defended the right to own slaves, and either participated in, supported, or ac- quiesced in the particularly inhumane nature of American slavery; and in later years Southern Baptists failed, in many cases, to support, and in some cases opposed, legitimate initiatives to secure the civil rights of African-Americans. That was an historic act in which the Southern Baptist Convention also declared to the public, “we apologize to all African-Americans for condoning and/or perpetuating individual and systemic racism in our lifetime; and we genuinely repent of racism of which we have been guilty, whether consciously or unconsciously and we ask forgiveness from our African-American brothers and sisters, acknowledging that our own healing is at stake.” That was more than twenty years ago.

    “An intelligent and edifying introduction to any of the key ideas of the modern era, and Christian responses to them, were formulated at the time of “Old the theology and leaders of Old Princeton. MPrinceton.” Gary Steward introduces us to the great men of A tremendous resource.” —Kevin DeYoung Princeton Theological Seminary from its founding to the early twen- tieth century, together with some of their most important writings. While commemorating the legacy of Old Princeton, this book also places the seminary in its historical and theological contexts.
