We are proud to be giving away a free copy of Broadus’ book On the Preparation and Delivery of Sermons which was originally published in 1870. John Broadus was one of the founding professors of SBTS and the seminary’s second president. This book has been revised and updated by Vernon Stanfield. The giveaway will run Monday, January [...]
Below is a list of books for sale by the Mt. Lebanon Book Association in 1856. Mt. Lebanon was the original home of Louisiana College. At the time, it was known as Mt. Lebanon University. It is interesting to see multiple books on church membership and a defense of restricted communion; two things Southern Baptists [...]
In an article that appeared in the Baptist Message, the state paper of the Louisiana Baptist Convention, M.E. Dodd wrote about the great contributions SBTS made to the Southern Baptist Convention. In 1925, as points five and six state, SBTS was seen as the “conservator” and “unifier” of our faith. Today, as was the case [...]

Today in the Southern Baptist Convention there are many who say that our confession allows much room for disagreement. They argue for ambiguity so that those holding diverse interpretations can cooperate with one another. This has not always been the case. In fact, historically, disagreement over articles of faith would qualify a church for disfellowship [...]
Today, it is common thought in the Southern Baptist Convention that strict confessionalism is unBaptist and a departure from historic Baptist principles. This is not the case. After the 1924 Convention and the announcement of a committee to make a recommendation on whether a statement of faith for the Southern Baptist Convention should be formed [...]
In parts one and two we saw an account of the Oklahoma County Pastor’s Conference and Dr. Duke McCall’s response. Dr. Moody replied on August 4, 1961 with his response published in the Baptist Press. It is simply too lengthy to post in its entirety but to be fair to Dr. Moody his full reply [...]
