Editorial Review Product Description Raised as a Southern Baptist in Rome, Georgia, Susan M. Shaw earned graduate degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, was ordained a Southern Baptist minister, and prepared herself to lead a life of leadership and service among Southern Baptists. However, dramatic changes in both the makeup and the message of the Southern Baptist Convention during the 1980s and 1990s (a period known among Southern Baptists as "the Controversy") caused Shaw and many other Southern Baptists, especially women, to reconsider their allegiances. In God Speaks to Us, Too: Southern Baptist Women on Church, Home, and Society, Shaw presents her own experiences, as well as those of over 150 other current and former Southern Baptist women, in order to examine the role, identity, and culture of women in the largest Protestant denomination in the country. The Southern Baptist Convention was established in the United States in 1845 after a schism between Northern and Southern brethren over the question of slavery. Shaw sketches the history of the Southern Baptist faith from its formation, through its dramatic expansion following World War II, to the Controversy and its aftermath. The Controversy began as a successful attempt by fundamentalists within the denomination to pack the leadership and membership of the Southern Baptist Convention (the denomination's guiding body) with conservative and fundamentalist believers. Although no official strictures prohibit a Southern Baptist woman from occupying the primary leadership role within her congregation -- or her own family -- rhetoric emanating from the Southern Baptist Convention during the Controversy strongly discouraged such roles for its women, and church leadership remains overwhelmingly male as a result. Despite the vast difference between the denomination's radical beginnings and its current position among the most conservative American denominations, freedom of conscience is still prized. Shaw identifies "soul competency," or the notion of a free soul that is responsible for its own decisions, as the principle by which many Southern Baptist women reconcile their personal attitudes with conservative doctrine. These women are often perceived from without as submissive secondary citizens, but they are actually powerful actors within their families and churches. God Speaks to Us, Too reveals that Southern Baptist women understand themselves as agents of their own lives, even though they locate their faith within the framework of a highly patriarchal institution. Shaw presents these women through their own words, and concludes that they believe strongly in their ability to discern the voice of God for themselves. Customer Reviews (4)

What Other Church?
An indispensible resource The scholarship is excellent, as McGoldrick is careful to use original sources when possible, and when not, he honestly addresses the credibility of his secondary sources and is careful to extensively footnote everything. For this purpose I am greatly indebted, as the book is useful to this end as well.The fact that McGoldrick misunderstands Catholic soteriology can be forgiven, as that was not the scope of this work.I highly recommend this to every honest Christian, regardless of denominational affiliation.
A Mixed Review The major weakness of this book, as I see it, is that he paints the churches in the free church tradition (e.g., the Novatians, Donatists, Albigenses, Waldenses, and Anabaptists) with too broad a brush instead of acknowledging that there were many doctrinal and practical differences within each of these groups and between these groups.They were not nearly as monolithic as he portrays them. Landmark Baptists do not contend that all of the churches in the free church tradition subscribed to all of the things Landmark Baptists believe and practice today, but one might get this impression from reading this book.Their major contention is that there have been, ever since the time of Christ's earthly ministry, Bible-believing New Testament churches on earth that have preached the true way of salvation and practiced the true way of baptism.These New Testament churches have been neither Catholic nor Protestant, but they have been bitterly opposed by both of these groups at times. The sine qua non of Landmark Baptist ecclesiology is not the denial of any and all forms of a universal church, as this book might suggest, for a large percentage of the 19th century SBC Landmarkers believed in either the present or future existence of a church larger than the local, visible assembly or congregation.The essence of Landmark Baptist ecclesiology is ecclesiastical separation from churches that do not qualify as true New Testament assemblies.A rejection of alien baptisms, open communion, and pulpit affiliation lies at the heart of Old Landmarkism, and this is not brought out clearly enough in this volume.In effect, then, Brother McGoldrick often builds Landmark Baptist straw-men, then proceeds to tear them down. William Whitsitt's modernistic theory of Baptist church history is too readily accepted by the author of this book.He would do himself and the rest of us a great favor if he would approach the study of Baptist history without these liberal presuppositions, and he has the training and expertise to write some really valuable books on this subject from a more objective viewpoint.As it stands, he has overreacted to some of the excessive subjectivity one finds in some Landmark Baptist writings by being overly subjective himself and biased against Landmark Baptist ecclesiology.

73. John Baptist de La Salle: The Spirituality of Christian Education (Classics of Western Spirituality) by Carl Koch, Jeffrey Calligan, Jeffrey Gros | |

list price: US$26.95 -- used & new: US$9.99 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0809141620 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description Born to a wealthy family, de La Salle turned his attention early on to the education of the poor and the marginalized and, at the same time, unwittingly founded a new type of religious community: Brothers who were teachers and active religious. Through his dedication to the vocation of teaching, de La Salle instituted several procedures that are still in practice in public and parochial institutions. De La Salle's spirituality for educators, which melds prayer and action, compassion and practicality, can be read afresh in every age: it transcends time and place. Customer Reviews (2)

Excellent introduction to the Free Will Baptist tradition "Chapter four addresses our doctrinal history. It examines three doctrinal statements which have greatly influenced what we believe today. They are 'A Declaration of Faith of English People Remaining at Amsterdam,' written by Thomas Helwys in 1611, 'The Standard Confession,' which was adopted by English General Baptists in 1660, and the 'Former Articles,' adopted byFree Will Baptists in 1812. "Two chapters are devoted to a study of our beliefs today.Chapter two discusses our most important doctrinal beliefs: it emphasizes those doctrines which are distinctive to our movement. Chapter five contains the complete text of our Treatise. This chapter enables the reader to examine carefully our church covenant, our major doctrinal beliefs and some of our most important practices. "The last section of the book analyzes some of our most important ministries. It summarizes the work of the National Association of Free Will Baptists in Sunday school, Home Missions, Foreign Missions and other areas. Some attention is given to state and local ministries. The final chatper discusses other denominations which have similar beliefs and practices. "This is the kind of book we have long needed. It is a relatively brief and easy-to-read summary of who Free Will Baptists are, what we believe and what we do. This volume should be required reading for all pastors, missionaries, teachers and others who are involved in Free Will Baptist work on a full-time basis. It should also be required reading for new ministers being licensed or ordained. It should be read by Sunday school teachers, deacons and others involved in local Free Will Baptist churches. Many churches now have orientation programs for new members, and this book could be very useful in such programs. Knowing who we are and what we believe can only help us serve the Lord more effectively."-Thomas Marberry, CONTACT magazine ... Read more |
