A Foundation for the Future: The Southern Baptist Message and Mission
Overview
“Who were the people and what were the teachings that gave Southern Baptists the bones, ligaments, muscles, breath, and blood to endure and prosper in the intensity of the twentieth century?” In A Foundation for the Future, Thomas Nettles—longtime Baptist professor of church history—takes us on a journey back through the annals of Southern Baptist history, to encourage and remind Baptists of the foundation laid by centuries of pioneers before them. “Looking back to the founding fathers has the potential to provoke spiritual renewal by helping modern believers more clearly understand the Word of God. Such a reformation and revival among the Southern Baptists could, under God, significantly influence the missions, theological education, worship, and evangelism in the entire modern evangelical world …” notes Nettle. This concise resource introduces prominent figures from John Albert Broadus to Adoniram Judson to James Boyce, as it provides a historical overview of the core tenets of the message and mission of the Southern Baptists.
