(ABP) -- Moderate Baptists have distinguished themselves from their more conservative and fundamentalist brothers and sisters for a generation through their elevation of freedom of conscience to a near-absolute good. While the conservatives who came to dominate the Southern Baptist Convention increasingly focused on defining and requiring (their particular version of) doctrinal orthodoxy, moderate Baptists proclaimed that freedom of individual conscience before God is a more distinctive Baptist principle than doctrinal conservatism. |

(ABP) -- The past decade or so has witnessed a surge of Christian theological work that features the kingdom of God as its central theme. This is certainly not the only current trend in theology or ethics. On the right, a revived neo-Calvinism holds sway in many quarters. Meanwhile, many younger scholars (among them many Baptists) are attracted to the narrative theology and character ethics most associated with Duke Divinity School’s Stanley Hauerwas and Notre Dame’s Alasdair MacIntyre. |

(ABP) -- I write to introduce you to a hugely important, deeply pessimistic book that ought to be read by every thoughtful Christian, including the one in the White House. The Limits of Power: The End of American Exceptionalism, was published in 2008 by Andrew J. Bacevich, a professor of history and international relations at Boston University and retired United States Army colonel. It is the most important book on U.S. foreign policy in a long time. |

(ABP) -- Two years ago, we moved from west Tennessee to Atlanta for me to begin work at Mercer University. One of the many changes that this move brought to my family was a shift in schooling for my high-school-age children. They went from a mid-size suburban Christian school to a large, urban public school. My son David graduated from that high school last week. |
