Sho Nuff!: Confronting the Controversies: A National Baptist Perspective

Is the Full Gospel Baptist Church truly Baptist, or is it Pentecostalism in disguise? Is the growing trend towards women serving as preachers and pastors biblical? Is the mega-church mania that is sweeping the country doctrinally sound? Dr. Burwell not only addresses these issues, but he also issues a stinging indictment against the leadership of the National Baptist Conventions for their failure to develop and adopt doctrinal stances on these and other controversies. Falling prey, he says, to the fear of another convention split, the leadership has chosen to hide behind the veil of autonomy, sacrificing doctrine on the altar of dollars. As such, the National Baptist church has lost its identity and its distinctiveness. In a call for doctrinal integrity, Sho Nuff offers a biblical examination of more than a dozen major and minor controversies from a uniquely National Baptist perspective.
