Editorial
David S. Dockery
Southwestern: A Century of Conviction, Cooperation, and Collaboration: A Time for Remembrance, Thanksgiving, and Recommitment
The first essay, preached by our President, David S. Dockery, during our Spring 2025 Convocation, sets the stage for the subsequent essays, all of which were commissioned to stress a truth emphasized in that important address.
Malcolm B. Yarnell III
Baptists Who Confess the Nicene Faith
The second essay… focuses on the universal Christian faith defined by the Nicene tradition as it has been received and affirmed by Baptists generally and by Southern Baptist theologians of the Southwest more particularly.
Michael D. Wilkinson
Baptist Convictions: The Cost of Being Baptist
The third essay… considers our Baptist convictions. Leading Baptists have courageously maintained these common convictions at great personal cost.
D. Jeffrey Bingham
Evangelicalism, the Word of God, and the Spirit
The fourth essay… considers what “Evangelicalism” means as a movement that treasures the divine Word with the divine Spirit. Engaging Martin Luther and his context, Bingham’s essay reminds us of the multivalent meanings attached to the term, “Evangelical,” alongside its core commitments to Scripture and its central place in Southern Baptist theology.
W. Madison Grace II
Cooperation: A Baptist Essential
The fifth essay… demonstrates why cooperation is not merely a matter of convenience but an essential element of Baptist ecclesiology.
Ashley L. Allen
Collaboration for Christ
Dr. Allen’s essay on “collaboration” demonstrates its biblical basis and rightly argues that we work better when we work together
