Description
The Bible and Baptist Tradition surveys the ways in which Baptists have engaged with the Bible as a source of authority. That engagement has sometimes taken the form of "proof-texting" the Bible to support beliefs that Baptists "know" to be true. At times, that engagement is a struggle to come to terms with the "plain meaning" of Scripture that challenges those well-worn assumptions of Truth. Mikael Parsons and Douglas Weaver begin with the basic question of what defines Baptist identity. With over four centuries of history, the following themes emerge in the Baptist story: freedom of conscience, believer's baptism and believer's church, soul competency and local church independence, assertions of the sole authority of the Bible rather than adherence to creeds, and the interplay of personal/communal experience, the Bible, and the Spirit. Wherever the experience of freedom is central to identity, diversity of expression is sure to follow. This book traces the role the Bible has played in the formation of Baptist creeds and confessions, the struggle to come to terms with the challenges of higher criticism in biblical studies, and the impact of the Bible on issues of gender, race, and sexuality. The study includes a Baptist-specific interpretation of a particularly important passage in the tradition: Acts 2 and the account of Pentecost and Peter's sermon. Throughout their history, Baptists have grappled with the lively dynamic of personal and communal experience and biblical authority. These are their stories.
