Below is from the announcement about the April 2006 issue of Touchstone:
Touchstone senior editor and dean at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Russell D. Moore sheds light on how members of his denomination have viewed the American culture wars.
“…the SBC’s cultural engagement was hardly conspiratorial or partisan. It was rooted not in some overarching political strategy, but most often in an Evangelical intuitionism–a sense of what ought to be, without a corresponding theoretical explanation of why–that quite often turned out to be right.
“Southern Baptists were not co-opted by Republican politicians or professional culture warriors. As they reflected on their deeply held commitments to a biblical worldview and Evangelical conversionism, they found allies in others who understood that the culture wars were about more than just ‘culture’ in the abstract but about issues directly related to Christian worship and submission to biblical authority.”
