{"product_id":"the-southern-baptist-convention-david-roach-9781666717495","title":"The Southern Baptist Convention \u0026 Civil Rights, 1954-1995","description":"According to conventional wisdom, theological liberals led the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation and racism in the twentieth century. That's only half the story. Liberals criticized segregation before mainstream Southern Baptists. They created racially integrated ministry opportunities. They pressed the Southern Baptist Convention to reject segregation. Yet historians have discounted the role of conservative theology in the convention's shift away from racial segregation and prejudice. This book chronicles how conservative theology proved remarkably compatible with efforts toward racial justice in America's largest Protestant denomination between 1954 and 1995. At times conservative theology was even a catalyst for rejecting racial prejudice. Efforts to eradicate racism and segregation were, in fact, least successful when they appealed to the social gospel or appeared to draw from liberal theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Roach\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1666717495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781666717495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pickwick Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"David Roach","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43945894084863,"sku":"9781666717495","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6c1a83a4-1b84-4a65-b8cb-758aa45e4e73.jpg?v=1681510364","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-southern-baptist-convention-david-roach-9781666717495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
