"Scholarship on Fire: A History of the """"Chair of Fire"""" and Southern Baptist Evangelism in Theological Education takes a step back into early-twentieth-century Texas Baptist history and observes the unveiling of the crown jewel of the Southern Baptist Convention, the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and the events that led the forward-thinking architect of theological education, Benajah Harvey (B. H.) Carroll, to the creation of the world's first endowed chair of evangelism and professorship of evangelism at his newly formed Texas seminary. This book carries the reader through a 112-year history of an academic chair and professorship that both educated men and women in the art of personal and mass evangelism and provided the necessary evangelistic spirit to forge the fervent pioneering, soul-winning denominational spirit that has thrust Southern Baptists to the forefront of evangelistic advancement since their inception in 1845. Studying the auspicious beginnings of evangelism taught in theological education will delve into the lives of the men who have taught Christians to reach their neighbors for Christ Jesus. The """"Chair of Fire"""" has impacted all seminaries and Christian schools around the world because of the inclusion of evangelism in theological education."

Reviews for Scholarship on Fire

"""Through the 'Chair of Fire, ' evangelism has been recognized as an important academic discipline in Southern Baptist seminaries. It has personally impacted me and my leadership among Southern Baptists. Dr. Roy Fish (who occupied the chair) was my doctoral supervisor and preached my inauguration message as president of Gateway Seminary. This book tells the inspiring story of the progress of evangelism training among Southern Baptists. May God use it to refocus us on this priority in the coming generations."" --Jeff Iorg, President, Gateway Seminary ""Beau Brewer has rightly identified the 'Chair of Fire' as the taproot of Southern Baptist theological education. With its focus on New Testament evangelism, the 'Chair of Fire' became the practical keel leading to the conservative doctrinal resurgence seven decades later. It is a must-read for all who would administer an Evangelical school of higher education to be a true Great Commission school."" --Thomas P. Johnston, President, Evangelism Unlimited ""Beau Brewer's account of the founding and development of the 'Chair of Fire' at the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary offers both context for and confirmation of evangelism's rightful place in the theological curriculum of Evangelical higher education. His research richly mines B. H. Carroll's and L. R. Scarborough's original model for seminary training in the theology and practice of evangelism to reach the world for Christ. I hope Brewer's volume receives wide circulation."" --Adam W. Greenway, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary"
