Two weeks ago, I posted some of my research on the last two decades of the Calvinism controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention, chronicling dates, researching leading influences, and offering some contributing factors perpetuating it. As expected, some of the information was not quite accurate, and more information was compiled (additional two pages of links). I mentioned that I would provide an updated version of my compilation after San Antonio, so I would like to make that available to you today. Here it is:
Please note that the research is still ongoing, and any additional information would be greatly appreciated. My goal is simply to provide a document that will inform more Southern Baptists on a transcendent issue that has marked the SBC from its inception to current day. Some of the earlier dates do not have links provided because the information is not available online. I am currently working on the feasibility of providing a downloadable version of these documents. The next version of this document should be made available towards the end of this year (assuming that it will need to be revised and expanded). Enjoy.
Thanks Timmy for all your work and posting that timeline.
Sean,
You’re welcome brother. BTW, I have a friend who will be visiting Clifton this Sunday. He is an IMB missionary up for some summer J-terms. If you guys are in town, it would be great if he could meet some of you guys there.
Hey Timmy,
Long time no hear from. Good to see this. I knew the debate was raging in the SBC, but the outright hostility and lack of Christ-like character from some in pastoral office is abhorrent.
Good job on the research. Can’t wait to see what the results of the conference will be.
Prayerfully, much of the ‘reformation’ we see today will not turn out to be a fad, but genuine. And not just in the SBC, but in the church in America as a whole.
