Rod D. Martin, founder and CEO of The Martin Organization and an officer of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Executive Committee, has come under fire for criticizing Arizona Pastor Josh King for praising his wife’s ministry online.
King, who leads the Second Baptist Church in Conway, Arkansas, and his wife, Bible teacher Jacki C King, are both graduates of Criswell College, a Christian liberal arts college and divinity school in Dallas, Texas. Both are also students at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary led by President Adam W. Greenway.
(RNS) First she shook the evangelical world by leaving the Southern Baptist Convention. Now Beth Moore, arguably the evangelical world’s most famous Bible teacher, has begged forgiveness for supporting the theology of male headship rooted in many evangelical cultures.
In a Twitter thread Wednesday (April 7), Moore took aim at complementarianism, the 20th century theological framework that argues men and women were created for different roles and that effectively champions male headship and female submission.
For some evangelicals, complementarianism is a line in the sand. Those who question it are seen as undermining belief in the Bible. Moore said that was wrong.
