Ed: What Jon said is that a portion of what Worthen wrote was stupid not that she is stupid. He is entitled to his opinion. Of course you believe he is wrong, but you can not prove it.
Can any one believe I am defending Jon E.

Semantics. He's entitled to his opinion, true, though he provided no substantiation for his claim, but simply used the term. Yeah, his opinion, though he claims his perspective is equal to the Biblical perspective.

I didn't say anything about an inerrantist believing the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis were myth. I said that you can hold an inerrantist perspective and not necessarily believe in a flat literal interpretation of the first eleven chapters. But that's beside the point, since that doesn't have anything to do with your labelling the article "stupid."

Patterson and Pressler with the definition of inerrancy that mattered that defined the takeover said the first eleven chapters were science and History as did Criswell.
Let's don't play the obfuscation game with what really matters in the last 50 years of Southern Baptist history.
That's why Wuthnow's Rough Country and Worthen's book and others like them are so significant. I would include Harold Bloom's The American Religion at getting to the guts of what the takeover and how it used the rubric of Inerrancy for the takeover as getting to the truth of the matter.

The doctor in China who retired near Asheville NC, Weaverville I think the mailing address. A founder of Christianity Today who pulled billy Gee to the right without much resistance from Billy. Worthen is a must read, Haruo, if you haven't gotten around to her four years in.

https://www.cccu.org/magazine/key-evang ... -may-past/Here's the Worthen article without having to go through Stephen's blog. Pretty good, actually, she has some good insights into this subject.
