Duke McCall: An Oral History With A. Ronald Tonks
By Duke McCall Retired President and Chancellor, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and Former President, Baptist World Alliance THIS NEW BOOK presents the candid stories of one of the most prominent Baptists of the 20th century. The writing is clear: it plainly displays McCall's strong sense of calling and mission. The work is human: it expresses humor and anger, joy and sadness. The volume is bluntly honest: it depicts administrative genius and anguish. This book positions McCall as one who served Baptists on local, national, and international levels; exhibited an aggressive leadership style; doggedly explored the heart of denominational issues; defended academic freedom in theological education; acknowledged achievements and confessed failures; and succeeded in every workplace where he served. He loved God, his family, and historic Baptist principles. _________________ "Powerful and sensitive memories drive this volume. In a gracious act of stewardship, McCall shares his soul. His no-holds-barred responses to penetrating questions hide nothing. Be prepared to laugh, to cry, to admire—perhaps, at times, to dissent. The section, "How to Deal with Controversy," sharpened in the line of fire, is worth the price of the book. And McCall's analysis of recent Southern Baptist controversy reeks of the prophetic. This is a choice contribution to the literature of free Baptists."
