I am excited to tell you about a new history of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY by church historian and professor of church history Greg Wills. It is called Southern Baptist Theological Seminary 1859-2009. Wills does for SBTS what George Marsden did for Fuller Theological Seminary in Reforming Fundamentalism. Wills’ book is published by Oxford University Press and comes to over 500 pages. Now if we could only get a similar history of Westminster Seminary. However, as I have been recently told, folks at Westminster are focusing on making history now so that someone can write the history later. Until we have that history of WTS, Wills will be instructive.  The story of SBTS is a tale of the recapture of an institution for the glory of Christ.    Read on!
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve. (Romans 16:17-18)
