J. Gresson Maitian's mentor BB Warfield was one of the towering theological figures of the 19th century. We're in a similar place today as we come to grips with losing biblical leaders like Harry Reader, Tim Keller and others. Dr. Mueller: To young men, I would say, find Orthodox heroes and hang around them.
In the 1980s the Southern Baptist Convention found itself at a crossroads. While many of its churches were faithfully teaching biblical Christianity, the seminaries where its pastors were trained had been immersed in theological liberalism for decades.
In a lot of stories, this is where the split would occur. But this time something different happened. Instead of dividing, a group of courageous Christians decided to change the equation. They came up with an unprecedented plan to turn Southern Seminary from liberal theology, back to its confessional roots.
