John Paul Newport was perhaps the most influential American Baptist
philosopher and apologist of the twentieth century. He became
legendary as a Baptist statesman, scholar, peacemaker, and
transformational professor, who supervised more than fifty Ph.D.
students in philosophy, apologetics, theology, biblical studies,
and world religions. Written from the unpublished autobiographical
papers of John Newport, this official biography, Like a River
Glorious, examines the life and legacy of one of America's premier
Baptist scholars.Newport studied with the best minds of his day and
taught for more than fifty years in Baptist colleges and
seminaries, as well as at Rice University. He was also a churchman
in pulpits across the South, serving as interim pastor in more than
150 churches in four states. His best-known book, Life's Ultimate
Questions, synthesized the most-asked questions about what it means
to live as a human being, and anchored his responses in a reasoned,
philosophical, and biblical worldview. Newport spent most of his
career at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary where he
chaired the philosophy department and served as vice president of
academic affairs and provost. He was also the special consultant to
then-president Russell Dilday and helped to lead the institution
through some of its most difficult days. Newport was an open,
approachable, and eminently constructive Christian in his day,
inviting his audiences to engage with the world of ideas, other
Christians, and people of non-Christian faiths. The story of his
unparalleled and remarkable journey unfolds in these pages, a
testament to his legacy and an invitation for future Christian
leaders to follow in his wake.
