The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

As always, she used biblical passages to support her cases.

Toxic Empathy arrived on bookstore shelves in 2024 with a blurb by Albert Moeller, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.

She has an amazing ability to get right to the heart of an issue, he says.

Matthew Taylor, a visiting scholar at the Center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University, said, and author of Defying Tyrants, Following Jesus in a World of Christian Antichrists, finds Stuckey's book more troubling.

Wow.

Because you have to remember, eight years ago, nine years ago, I was finishing up my master's in theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which, you know, has very formed views on Bible study as every seminary does.

Right.

And the things I learned there were kind of the – you could talk about it as like the grammatical historical approach to understanding a book of the Bible or understanding a passage of scripture that you begin kind of by putting the text under a microscope and you go, what is right in front of me? And you kind of act like the rest of the canon doesn't exist.

And one of the reasons I looked at LSU is John Dixon, Dr. John Dixon, who Matt and I both studied with.

He was the professor of Philip Copeland, my undergraduate professor back at Southern Seminary in Louisville.

And so that was one of the reasons I was looking there.

And and so, yeah, I spent the last maybe three semesters at Samford really in a sprint to try and get my coral chops up and.

Well, we were precisely trying to get at the insider reach on this question, right? We know that there's been major books by Joe Rigney, Ali Beth Stuckey.

And we know that those, for example, have been promoted on prominent podcasts inside the evangelical world, like on Al Mohler's podcast at Southern Seminary.

So we know that there's been kind of making inroads right out there.

And so the real question was, yeah, if we use the sort of language, it is insider language.

You know, you're really drilling into a subject.

But Tom Schreiner, who's at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, has written an excellent one in the Baker Academic Series on Revelation.

G.K. Beale is probably the scholar's standard because he goes straight from the Greek.

And so his one was published by Erdmann's, but it's the Book of Revelation, a commentary on the Greek text.

A...

A genuine friend of mine, Jim Hamilton of Southern Seminary, recently did a podcast for the Kenwood Church podcast where he's at.

And he basically tells his own story as how he was kind of, I wouldn't say very pressured to contribute to it, but kind of, he just assumed that the guys around him were correct in telling him the right stuff.

He had one faculty member who wouldn't go along with it.

Separate discussion, actually, not along with that.

But Albert Moeller, who is the president of Southern Seminary, had a really interesting podcast out today on a USA Today piece from Susan Page.

And she was talking about how when Republicans, Democrats and independents were asked about what their highest moral good is, Republicans said patriotism in the realm of politics.

Independents said honesty.
