Thesis (Ph.D.)--Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2003.

The purpose of this dissertation is to address Southern Baptist responses to the Vietnam War, and to examine the manner in which interpretations by Southern Baptists of two foundational doctrines, separation of church and state and liberty of conscience, conditioned those responses. Sources consulted for the dissertation principally included annuals of the Southern Baptist Conventions and Southern Baptist state conventions which met from 1965–73, and editorials and news articles in Baptist state newspapers and periodicals from the same period. Personal letters between Southern Baptist leaders and their constituents, and letters from convention leaders and constituents to President Lyndon B. Johnson were examined at the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives in Nashville, Tennessee, and at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library at the University of Texas in Austin, respectively.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this dissertation is to address Southern Baptist responses to the Vietnam War, and to examine the manner in which interpretations by Southern Baptists of two foundational doctrines, separation of church and state and liberty of conscience, conditioned those responses. Sources consulted for the dissertation principally included annuals of the Southern Baptist Conventions and Southern Baptist state conventions which met from 1965–73, and editorials and news articles in Baptist state newspapers and periodicals from the same period. Personal letters between Southern Baptist leaders and their constituents, and letters from convention leaders and constituents to President Lyndon B. Johnson were examined at the Southern Baptist Historical Library and Archives in Nashville, Tennessee, and at the Lyndon B. Johnson Library at the University of Texas in Austin, respectively.
520 $a Divided into four parts and twelve chapters, the dissertation explores intersections of Southern Baptist thought with American civil religion, and evaluates the charge of a ‘militaristic tradition’ in the denomination. Prominent Southern Baptist leaders and personalities, such as Billy Graham, Franklin Paschall, W. A. Criswell and Herschell Hobbs, receive special attention. Contrasting responses to the Vietnam War from the American Baptist Convention and Progressive National Baptist Convention in the U.S.A., Inc., were included in the development of the dissertation.
520 $a A principal conclusion reached through analysis of primary source material is that the Southern Baptist Convention, as a denomination, ostensibly avoided rendering judgment on the military-foreign policy of the United States in Vietnam. Leaders such as Graham and Hobbs believed that separation of church and state precluded political pronouncements on military intervention at the denominational level. Critics charged that Southern Baptists interpreted the doctrine disingenuously. As for liberty of conscience, while the Southern Baptist Convention approved a resolution on conscientious objection in 1940, objection and dissent were consistently unpopular among Southern Baptists. Those who chose to object often were labeled ‘unpatriotic’ and even ‘treasonous,’ revealing a hint of coercion within the denomination. Military service was the more noble tradition among Southern Baptists. The convention, however, never succumbed to a ‘militaristic’ mode of thinking.
