Matt Martens, a former prosecutor who has an upcoming book on biblical justice and has written about the SBC sex abuse reforms, said the Ascol/Barber race is not conservative v liberal, but between a conservative turn and a more fundamentalist turn 1/x #SBC22 @martensmatt1
“Fundamentalism has a more bunker mentality instinct when it comes with dealing with the outside secular world,” he said. “Do we protect ourselves, our children from worldly influences or are we more engaging with the world in our approach?” 2/x
In fundamentalism it’s more isolationist, distancing from the world and in some ways SBC debates about things like CRT “are proxy for that instinct.” 3/x
“The question is whether the convention will take a fundamentalist turn and so far the answer is no.” - @martensmatt1 on #SBC22
