{"product_id":"traditional-theology-the-sbc","title":"Traditional Theology \u0026 the SBC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book offers a careful response to the “Statement of Traditional Southern Baptist Understanding of God’s Plan of Salvation,” a document written in 2012 in opposition to the resurgence of the doctrines of grace within the Southern Baptist Convention. With clarity and conviction, Tom Ascol examines the theological claims of the Traditionalist Statement and evaluates them in light of Scripture and Baptist history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten in the context of ongoing debates over Calvinism, the book seeks to move beyond caricatures and misrepresentations by engaging the issues directly and thoughtfully. While firmly defending the doctrines of grace, Ascol writes with respect toward those with whom he disagrees and repeatedly calls for humility, charity, and faithfulness to God’s Word in theological discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book is a concern for the purity of the gospel and the future theological health of Southern Baptist life. The author argues that the doctrines of grace are not foreign to Baptist identity, but deeply rooted in the denomination’s history and confessional heritage. Both theological critique and pastoral appeal, this work encourages Southern Baptists to think carefully about the gospel they proclaim and the doctrinal foundations that shape their mission, unity, and witness to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Founders Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931973173474,"sku":"713","price":14.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/8444\/9250\/files\/traditional-theology-and-the-sbc_02_be22c0b5-a0f1-4541-ab47-7df138ed422b.png?v=1782575375","url":"https:\/\/founderspress.org\/products\/traditional-theology-the-sbc","provider":"Founders Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
