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.

They came up with an unprecedented plan to turn Southern Seminary from liberal theology, back to its confessional roots.
