Freedom of Conscience - A Baptist/ Humanist Dialogue (Hardcover)

For many years, both Baptists and humanists have been embroiled in
heated controversy in the public square. Fundamentalist Baptists
have leveled strong charges against humanists, especially secular
humanists, accusing them of undermining the moral and social fabric
of America. And secular humanists have, in turn, accused some
Baptists of betraying democracy and working to establish a
theocracy. Can there be common ground between Baptists and
humanists?
At a historic dialogue convened at the University of Richmond,
Virginia, Baptist and secular humanist scholars in theology,
history, philosophy, and the social sciences, came together to
define shared concerns and common values. The dialogue focused on
major areas of concern: academic freedom; social, political, and
religious tolerance; biblical scholarship; separation of church and
state; the social agenda of the Christian Coalition and the
Southern Baptist Convention; the danger of militant fundamentalism;
freedom of conscience and the historic and current role of American
Baptists; as well as the plight of pluralistic democracy.
The result of that historic meeting is Freedom of Conscience: A
Baptist/Humanist Dialogue, which includes essays by Robert S.
Alley, Joe Barnhart, Vern L. Bullough, Bernard C. Farr, George H.
Shriver, Paul D. Simmons, George D. Smith, and Dan O. Via. The book
concludes with "In Defense of Freedom of Conscience," a cooperative
Baptist/Secular Humanist Declaration, authorized by twenty-two
distinguished
humanist and Baptist leaders.
