Voddie Baucham’s Faulty Fault Lines

I first heard, and heard of, Voddie Baucham in the Fall of 2005. He ascended the platform of the chapel at Southern Seminary early in my first semester. He thundered the gospel from Jude, saying he would have loved merely to delight in our common salvation. But, he said, too many were threatening the gospel. Instead, he came “to contend for the faith that was delivered to the saints once for all” (Jude 3). A year later I heard him again, at John Piper’s Desiring God national conference in Minneapolis. Both hearings impressed me in just the same way: Voddie Baucham knows the Word, and he knows how to preach the Word. Thus, I have respected him for a decade and a half as a man of the Scripture. I carried this respect into my reading of his blockbusting best-seller, Fault Lines: The Social Justice Movement and Evangelicalism’s Looming Catastrophe. <a href="https://dannyslavich.medium.com/voddie-bauchams-faulty-fault-lines-2513046afd3c">Website</a>
