  • Baptist Successionism
    The Journal of Baptist Studies 3 (2009): 3-15. THE SUCCESSIONISM VIEW OF BAPTIST HISTORY * James R. Duvall Introduction When Clarence Walker began publishing The Trail of Blood in 1931, neither he nor J. M. Carroll, the author, could have imagined the impact the booklet would have on Baptists in the United States and around the world. The first thousand copies had been sold quickly by another publisher and sales continued steadily from Ashland Avenue Baptist Church in Lexington, KY. Today there have been nearly three million copies sold. The booklet has been enlarged by the present publisher,1 and it has been translated into several other languages: Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Russian and possibly others. It is now on the Internet in at least three languages. The Trail of Blood describes in a brief outline form what successionist historians had written for nearly two centuries. They believed there had been a succession of churches that held the basic doctrines of Baptists, and they were not associated in any way with the Roman Catholic institution. The Trail of Blood does not claim to be a complete history as such, but what might be called a “Baptist Manifesto.” It was written in such a way that pastors and teachers could present a thumbnail sketch of their Baptist ancestors. Carroll's idea was so successful that several authors have used a similar format, 2 while other authors have spent a lot of ink seeking to counter these lessons. 3 W. *Thanks to my son, James Kenneth, for assistance in research and preparation of this essay.

  • A Chronological Survey of the Calvinism/Arminanism Controversy in the SBC Researched and Compiled by Timmy Brister
    1 A Chronological Survey of the Calvinism/Arminanism Controversy in the SBC Researched and Compiled by Timmy Brister There is no learned man but will confess that he hat much profited by reading controversies -- his senses awakened, his judgment sharpened, and the truth which he holds more firmly established. All controversy being permitted, falsehood will appear more false, and truth the more true. --John Milton, as quoted in The Golden Treasury of Puritan Quotations, compiled by I. D. E. Thomas (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth Trust, 1989), 62-63. Top 12 Events in the Controversy (chronologically and according to Timmy Brister) (1) 1978 Ernest Reisinger and Fred Malone begin the “Boyce Project”— a goal to republish James P.

  • Shall (Can) We Gather at the River?: a Response to Lemke's Nine Marks of Baptist Identity
    Shall (Can) We Gather at the River?: A Response to Lemke’s Nine Marks of Baptist Identity Dr. Mark Rathel Baptist College of Florida Personal Points of Appreciation First, I appreciate Dr. Lemke’s concern for Baptist identity. Legendary Yale church historian Kenneth Scott Latourette claimed: “I am a Baptist by heritage, by inertia, and by conviction.”1 I am a Baptist by heritage only in the sense that a young Christian Baptist lady, now my wife of nearly thirty years explained the gospel to me. I remain a Baptist partially by inertia. I received three educational degrees from Baptist schools; the majority of my close friends are Baptists; and even though I try to be a catalyst for change, I live my life in a Baptist comfort zone. Yet, I remain a Baptist because of personal conviction. I see a close correlation between the New Testament and Baptist teachings. Being a Christian entails convictions and a commitment to distinctive Christian principles. Likewise, being a Christian Baptist ought to involve convictions and a commitment to distinctive Christian Baptist principles. In the midst of our Baptist self-identity crisis, I hope we can rediscover the joy of being Christian Baptists by conviction. Second, I appreciate Dr. Lemke’s emphasis upon the importance of baptism.2 Like Dr. Lemke, I affirm that New Testament baptism entails the right subject (believer), right mode (immersion) and right meaning (union with Christ through immersion as a symbol of death and resurrection). Further, I concur with Dr. Lemke that some Baptists disregard or ignore the distinctive of believer’s baptism.

  • Series 018 Mell Presidential Records
    PATRICK H. MELL PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS 1902-1909 SERIES 18 Extent: 2 cu. ft. Inclusive dates: 1903-1909 Bulk dates: 1907-1909 Provenance: Office of the President Access: Unrestricted Processing: Maria Skilton and Mark Schnetzka, student assistants. Biographical note: Patrick Hues Mell was born 24 May 1850 at Penfield, Georgia, the son of Patrick Hues and Lurene Howard Cooper Mell. After graduating from the University of Georgia in 1871 Mell served as chemist for the state of Georgia. From 1878-1883 Mell served as professor of natural history (later professor of geology and botany) at the Alabama Polytechnical Institute at Auburn, Alabama, and in 1884 he became head of the state weather service of Alabama, where he devised a system of flags designed to signal coming changes in the weather. In both capacities Mell published numerous scientific writings, among them, “Auriferous Slate Deposits of Southern Regions,” 1881; Grasses of Alabama, 1889; and Biological Laboratory Methods, 1902. In 1902 Mell accepted the presidency of Clemson College, succeeding M. B. Hardin. Mell’s accomplishments included a faculty reorganization, in which a hierarchy of positions and salaries reduced employee dissatisfaction and resignations, and a separation of the agricultural experiment station from the teaching component of the college in which sufficient time was allowed for professors to teach, researchers to conduct experimental research, and administrators to seek qualified applicants for all positions. A number of difficulties with the Board of Trustees over cadet discipline, especially the Pendleton Guards episode, however, brought Mell into conflict with the Board of Trustees, and on 1 January 1910, Mell resigned his post.
