As one Southern Baptist seminary hires a noted anti-Trump professor, another Southern Baptist entity unceremoniously fires a pro-Trump, Latino professor. It is the story of the 2019 Southern Baptist Convention. If you want to get ahead, don’t be a real conservative—that’s the lesson from a close reading of a new A Tale of Two Buffalo Grads in the Southern Baptist Convention. The essay explores the similarities and differences between Karen Swallow Prior and Robert Lopez. Prior is a newly hired professor at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Lopez is on his way out at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
