Baptists are keen to go directly to the New Testament in all major issues of faith. If the Bible is the first argument, then history (and therefore tradition) is another line of argument, that both promoters and opponents of women's ordination can and do use. This book is largely concerned with not just the history of women's ordination, or even of Baptists and women's ordination, but offers perspectives from history that may be useful for the discussion...

J. R. Graves has been, described by one historian as one who "influenced Southern Baptist life of the 19th century in more ways, and probably in a greater degree, than any other person." Over several decades, Graves was editor of The Tennessee Baptist, one of the most enduring and influential denominational papers across the south in the 19th century. His colorful style and homespun theology mesmerized thousands of southern believers, especially Baptists....

I frequently comment about the great energy in the local church in the 70's. The services were powerful and the fellowship electrifying. Acts chapter 2 was alive and fully functional. What has happened? Has God changed? Of course not! The church has shifted to a reclusive state and that atmosphere of disunity has affected multitudes of Christians. The fertile ground and foundation of the church are intact and ready to be built upon, once again.

Pink's deep understanding of the nature of regeneration and how that relates to faith and works is top notch. Pink levels the serious and solemn charge that much "evangelistic" preaching falls short on delivering the true gospel message. He states, "The 'evangelism' of the day is not only superficial to the last degree, but it is radically defective. It is utterly lacking a foundation on which to base an appeal for sinners to come to Christ. There...

I remember when I first began to live for the Lord, Mike Riggs and I were doing a Bible study at noon on the job site, and Mike told me that I should underline the word faith each time it is used in this chapter. It is one of the most impressive chapters of all the Bible. You will notice with me that the chapter begins with the definition of faith. This is traditional Jewish literature in that the Apostle summarizes all that he plans on presenting...
