Truth in Crisis: The Controversy in the Southern Baptist Convention
Select Format
Select Condition 
Book Overview
The shift in the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) towards conservatism is one of the most important developments in 20th century Christianity. The conservative shift began in 1979 and continues today, though most historians say the actual Battle for the Bible concluded in 1993. Author James C. Hefley was there as an eyewitness to this history. A gifted writer with a clear focus on the theological issues involved, Hefley penned this five-volume series as developments occurred. He literally provides a step-by-step account.

Evenhanded & convincing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
You have to believe this writer. There's an honest, no-axe-to-grind, started-out-neutral-but-changed-his-mind, quality about his account that has the ring of truth. Lots of fascinating sidebars about Southern Baptist history, including the account of a young ministerial student from Mercer College named John Birch.First pro-conservative book published about the SBC turnaround, & I doubt there'll be a better one.
The best resource on this topic anywhere!

This book, (along with the others in the series), is the most exhaustive, even-handed, and thoroughly researched account of the conservative resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention that I have found anywhere. If you think you know everything about the Conservative movement in the SBC, read this series and see what you missed! Every Southern Baptist and, I believe, every Christian, should read this and the complete series from cover-to-cover. A thoroughly excellent resource and a must have for your personal library.
