Great Christian Existentialist Read
revelation
Densely packed - needs to be read slowly
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom To be poor in spirit is to shed oneself of all security, identity, importance, power, etc., anything that separates us from our humanity, and from God himself. The last days of Christ reveal the true meaning of what it is to be a human being, completely defenseless, stripped even of one's clothing, and abandoned by one's supporters. He resisted all temptation to call upon his divine powers throughout, choosing instead to embrace and experience in full the humann experience. To complete this experience is the cornerstone of Christ's Victory, and the cornerstone of the path of salvation for his followers. When Christ utters the words "Eloi, Eloi, why have you forsaken me?" the impoverishment is complete, his victory is complete, his life is complete, and the new covenant is established. This is a book to read in a single evening. It is only 60 very small pages. But it is a book that will take a lifetime to really understand. It is a map to the kingdom of heaven.

bemused
Funny portrait This book reminded me a lot of John Welter's I Want to Buy a Vowel in it's intimate, humorous, and ironic look at American small-town life. In this case, it's small-town southern Louisiana that Wilcox describes, and he does a fine job of realizing the little dramas and characters that inhabit this declining small town near Baton Rouge. I found the humor more bittersweet and ironic, compared to the thigh-slappers that one gets from authors like Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, Chris Moore, and Bill Fitzhugh, but it's still funny in a bittersweet sort of way and worth reading by itself. I note that this book came out in 1988, not long after Hiaasen started writing, and things have gotten much wackier since in the humor genre. If you've read Dorsey's Triggerfish Twist and Fitzhugh's Pest Control then you know what I'm talking about. So although not quite in that league, I still enjoyed it and can recommend it for those looking for a writer with a talent for humorous, sensitive, and realistic portraits of small town life in the deep South.
One of my favorite books.
Wilcox is a master of subtle, all-too-human comedy

27. The Truth in Crisis: The Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention, Vol. 6 by James C. Hefley Ph.D. | |

Editorial Review Product Description Also known as The Conservative Resurgence in the Southern Baptist Convention,Volume 6 was published in limited quantities in 1991. It immediately sold out; Hannibal Books at that time did not choose to reprint. Hefley wrote Volume 6 as his final report on the controversy between 1979 and 1991 that rocked and dramatically changed the nation's largest non-Catholic denomination. The book contains 364 pages and is about twice the size of each of Volumes 1 through 5. Hefley designed the book to be a condensed version of the other five volumes but with additional materials included.Then at the time of publication he changed his mind and listed the book as Volume 6. Hefley, who founded Hannibal Books in 1984 and died in 2004, described the book as ". . . the wrap-up book of The Truth in Crisis series." He noted that it "covered 70 years of eventful Southern Baptist history, culminating in the most revolutionary change of a denomination in American church history." "Here is very recent history available nowhere else, including the dramatic 'Showdown at the Sunday School Board', the account of the crucial 1991 overturn at Southern Seminary, 'Baylor University--Saved or Stolen?', and much much more," Hefley wrote on the book's back cover. He called the book "a 'must' study for Southern Baptist pastors, agency employees, seminarians, professors and laity who want the full story of what is happening to Southern Baptists."He said the book would be "helpful to anyone who wishes to understand how a major church body was turned in a more conservative direction by a grassroots movement that got out the vote to defeat one of the most powerful religious establishments in America." In the reprint, Hannibal Books neither edited nor changed in any way Hefley's original manuscript.The book appears exactly as it did in 1991 except for address and website changes for Hannibal Books and the addition of one page dedicating the reprint to James and Marti Hefley. The two died in the spring of 2004 of unrelated illnesses only weeks apart. The dedication says, "Together in life. Together again singing praises around God's throne." Dr. Lewis Drummond, former president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, N.C., wrote the foreword. Today, various volumes of The Truth in Crisisseries, especially Volume 1, are used as textbooks in most Southern Baptist seminaries. During his lifetime, Hefley authored and co-authored about 50 books.Besides six volumes in The Truth in Crisis series, Hefley was perhaps best known outside the Southern Baptist Convention for his Way Back series about life in the Ozark Mountains during the Depression years. |

Editorial Review Product Description Baptists are a study in contrasts. From Little Dove Old Regular Baptist Church, up a hollow in the Appalachian Mountains, with its 25-member congregation, to the 18,000-strong Saddleback Valley Church in Orange County, California, where hymns appear on wide-screen projectors; from Jerry Falwell, Jesse Helms, and Tim LaHaye to Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, Bill Clinton, and Maya Angelou, Baptist churches and their members have encompassed a range of theological interpretations and held a variety of social and political viewpoints. At first glance, Baptist theology seems classically Protestant in its emphasis on the Trinity, the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the authority of Scripture, salvation by faith alone, and baptism by immersion. Yet the interpretation and implementation of these beliefs have made Baptists one of the most fragmented denominations in the United States. Not surprisingly, they are often characterized as a people who "multiply by dividing." Baptists in America introduces readers to this fascinating and diverse denomination, offering a historical and sociological portrait of a group numbering some thirty million members. Bill J. Leonard traces the history of Baptists, beginning with their origins in seventeenth-century Holland and England. He examines the development of Baptist beliefs and practices, offering an overview of the various denominations and fellowships within Baptism. Leonard also considers the disputes surrounding the question of biblical authority, the ordinances (baptism and the Lord's Supper), congregational forms of church governance, and religious liberty. The social and political divisions among Baptists are often as dramatic, if not more so, than the theological divides. Leonard examines the role of Baptists in the Fundamentalist and Social Gospel movements of the early twentieth century. The Civil Rights movement began in African American Baptist churches. More recently, Baptists have been key figures in the growth of the Religious Right, criticizing the depravity of American popular culture, supporting school prayer, and championing other conservative social causes. Leonard also explores the social and religious issues currently dividing Baptists, including race, the ordination of women, the separation of church and state, and sexuality. In the final chapter Leonard discusses the future of Baptist identity in America. |

Comprehensive and dated
Must read for students of church history This is an outstanding overview of not only the history of the denomination, but the developement of the "Baptist Distinctives" that set Baptists apart from other evangelical denominations.There is a rich history behind the Baptist church -- it is unfortunate that the Trail of Blood advocates have clouded that heritage in questionable historiography. If you want to know what the truth is behind the Baptist church's history, read this book -- not Carroll's fantasy work.
Just the real facts.
