Southern Baptists and the Doctrine of Election by Robert B. Selph is a well-documented exploration of the historical roots of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) in the doctrine of election. Selph presents a compelling case that the SBC's founders and early leaders were deeply influenced by Reformed theology, particularly the Calvinist understanding of God's sovereignty in salvation.Through extensive historical research and theological analysis, the book challenges contemporary perceptions, urging a reevaluation of the SBC's doctrinal heritage. It serves as both a historical account and a theological reflection on the denomination's foundational beliefs.
