W. A. Criswell envisioned the emergence of a new conservatism that
would become the new religious right. In his most famous and
revealing sermons, including "Segregation and Society" (1956) and
"The Church of the Open Door" (1968), Criswell proclaimed that
opposition to evangelical truths sprang from two sources: Darwin's
Origin of Species and the vast inroads of German higher criticism
and rationalism that explained away the miracles of the bible and
reduced them to humanistic fiction. Towns's book examines selected
speeches from 1956 to 2002, revisiting events that provoked the
rhetorical situations of the era and exploring speaker-leader
propositions and perspectives. Criswell's leadership in the
Southern Baptist Convention was dynamic and unifying, and his
paradigm for social responsibility in his preaching, speaking and
writing can best be entailed in the following encapsulation: "Be
anchored to the book and geared to the times."
