"Beyond Piper, Hansen pointed to figures like Al Mohler, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and events like the Passion Conferences, where thousands of young people heard Reformed teachings."

Al Mohler’s Stunning Lack of Self-Awareness

https://evangelicaldarkweb.org/2020/09/06/al-mohlers-stunning-lack-of-self-awareness/

In the largest protestant denomination in America, Al Mohler is undoubtedly the most powerful figure in said institution. Sitting as President of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, his influence carries much weight in the ecclesiastical affairs of the Southern Baptist Convention. The grave threat, perhaps greater than the theological liberalism that necessitated the Conservative Resurgence, of the Social Justice Gospel has made great inroads with evangelical Christianity in America. Al Mohler is routinely criticized for allowing this infiltration. On September 2nd, Al Mohler had James Lindsay on his “Thinking In Public” podcast to discuss Critical Theory and Intersectionality.

Though James Lindsay is undoubtedly a subject matter expert, he is an atheist, though one who can articulate Christian beliefs well. This raised questions about Al Mohler’s reticence to discuss this issue with orthodox Southern Baptists who are also experts on this issue, such as Tom Ascol. James Lindsay has also not been shy about criticizing the Southern Baptist Convention’s embrace of Cultural Marxism.

The podcast itself is rather informative, mostly as Jame Lindsay articulates historic advance of this movement. But there are a few instances I wanted to highlight. The first was a possible reference to Critical Race Theory being promoted by the Southern Baptist Convention as an analytical tool. It’s not certain that James Lindsay was referencing Resolution 9 specifically, but Al Mohler had no disagreements about Lindsay’s point about the inability to compromise with the ideology.

Al Mohler on his podcast Thinking In Public had James Lindsay as a guest to discuss Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality (CRT/I). The irony of it all is Al Mohler will condemn CRT/I while incubating it at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and countering efforts within the SBC (like the CBN) that aim to counter it.
