Between Worlds
John A. Broadus, the Southern Baptist Seminary, and the Prospects of the New South
By Eric C. Smith | Publisher: LSU Press
About the book
John A. Broadus (1827–95) was a highly influential Southern Baptist leader, preacher, scholar, and educator during the latter half of the nineteenth century. He cofounded the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, which today is among the largest seminaries in the world. Broadus’s enduring impact on American preaching stems in part from his 1870 homiletics manual, a widely adopted textbook that ministers continue to use today. A prominent southerner before and after the Civil War, Broadus actively shaped his region during the shift from the Old South to the New. Eric C. Smith’s Between Worlds—the first scholarly biography of Broadus—joins recent historical scholarship in reevaluating Broadus’s legacy.
