Publisher Description
The changes in the bureaucracy of the Southern Baptist Convention may seem of little concern to anybody except knowledgeable Southern Baptists. Yet what happened during the crucial 1989-1990 years covered in volume 5 of The Truth in Crisis affected Americans far beyond the Southern Baptist enclave of 15 million plus citizens. Soon, the convention would join the so-called New Right in lobby activities in Washington; soon, the clout and weight of the convention would be thrown against abortion mills and advocates; soon, the SBC leadership would openly confront those advocating homosexual rights. The SBC would lead the charge against President Clinton's programs, including against the President himself. Had the events in 1989-1990 gone a different way, American history might have been different during the 1990s and beyond. Serious students of church history as well as American history will not want to miss this volume.
