Southern Baptist Voices

The BioLogos Forum has started a dialogue with some leading Southern Baptist seminarians over issues of science and faith. The discussion is worth checking out.

This series came out of conversations one of us (DF) had some time ago with Dr. Kenneth Keathley, Senior Vice President for Academic Administration of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, when we met at a conference. We talked about BioLogos and he expressed some concerns about the BioLogos point of view. As the conversation continued, Ken summarized our differences and the very important things we have in common with an equally gracious spirit. With that in mind, we asked him if he would arrange for several contributions from fellow Southern Baptist seminarians to address the concerns that he and his colleagues have about the BioLogos view of scripture, theology, and biology. We suggested that various BioLogos staff members or associates could respond in turn to each of those concerns and we agreed that the discussion would take place in the context of mutual respect as followers of Jesus. Nothing would be posted unless it had received the approval of each of us, together.

Check out the rest of the introduction here. You can also read the dialogue between BioLogos and the first of the contributors, Kenneth Keathely, here.
