Writing in the very rst year of the 20th century, William Byron Forbush warned America that it faced a crisis he called the boy problem. Forbush warned that a generation of young males, then still in boyhood, would soon enter the life of the nation without the necessary civilizing inuences, discipline and character. He called for immediate action and directed
The boy problem, then and now
In his inuential book, The Boy Problem, Forbush offered a plan for recovering Americas adolescent boys. He called for fathers to play a more direct role in the raising of their sons, for schools to give attention to the particular needs of boys and for the formation and support of organizations that would take boys off the streets and offer moral and spiritual formation. The boy problem as observed by Forbush looks almost quaint by todays standards. In the year 2005, America faces a far greater crisis in a generation of boys and young men who have been unfathered, untutored, undisciplined, and ultimately unleashed on society. Terrence O. Moore offers a fascinating view into the world of contemporary boyhood in his essay, Wimps and Barbarians: The Sons of Murphy Brown. Moore begins and ends by remembering Avery, the ctional son of Murphy Brown, played by Candice Bergen on prime time television. Murphy Browns son infamously born out of wedlock became a major issue of nationwide controversy when Vice President Dan Quayle made the child a focus of national concern when he charged that Murphy Brown and her son represented a breakdown of family values and stability. Taking his cue from the television program, Moore realized that Avery would now be a teenager. Although Avery was a ctional boy, Moore sees Averys generation on a daily basis. As a Marine, college professor, and now principal of a K-12 charter school, Moore relates, I have deliberately tried to gure out whether the nation through its most important institutions of moral instruction its families and schools is turning boys into responsible young men. Moore answers the question in the negative and argues that adolescent boys and young men are now divided between barbarians who represent crude, antisocial and uncivilized character, and wimps, who are described as whiny, incapable of making decisions, and in gen-
national attention to the problem.
eral of acting like men. Manhood, Moore explains, is not simply a matter of being male and reaching a certain age. These are acts of nature; manhood is a sustained act of character. Where are todays barbarians? Moore locates them at the local shopping mall, wandering about in packs, recognizable by their sloppy dress, their lack of linguistic ability, their crudeness of manners and their treatment of women. At the other extreme, the wimps lack all manly conviction and character. Robbed of ambition, moral formation and courage, wimps make worthless watchdogs. With respect to women, barbarians demonstrate a crudeness, profanity, and violence that treats women merely as sex objects for male pleasure. Wimps, on the other hand, look to women for emotional support, consider girlfriends to be conversation partners and look to women for pity. Moore goes right to the heart of the problem in raising boys. A regime of permissive parenting has led to soft discipline that produces soft boys who grow to become soft men. Parents are now afraid to discipline and seem to be more concerned with the development of an articial self-esteem in their boys. Moore dismisses this new, softer form of discipline, pointing out that it does not work and only leads to mutual frustration. When all else fails, the medical specialist will show up to prescribe Ritalin. Moore recognizes that the process of making a man out of a boy is not easy. Discipline stands at the center of a boys moral formation, and is best handled by his father who, after all, should remember what was necessary for his own successful emergence into manhood. The old form of discipline was quick, direct, clearcut, and effective. The new non-punitive discipline is time-consuming, indirect, muddled, and ineffective. A boy who never feels shame for his wrongdoing and never fears punishment learns that bad behavior brings no consequences and that his own failure of character is someone elses fault. Moores essay is a refreshing change of pace from the pablum routinely handed out to parents by the cultural elite, the educators and the so-called experts. We should rightly fear a future in which young men grow into physical maturity only to show themselves as either barbarians or wimps. Unless this pattern is reversed, we face a future dominated by males who never grow up to be men.

ost denitions and descriptions of biblical Christian manhood tend to major on the Christian and minor on the manhood. Once when I was in college, a group of us young men attempted to list characteristics of a biblical man. One by one we called out characteristics like love, joy, peace and patience. The problem was that the young
women were in the room next to us listing the same characteristics of a biblical woman. But are there not specic, differing ways in which men and women will live out the Christian life? Are there not certain ways in which I am going to instruct my sons, that I will not do with my daughters? There are no generic people. There are men, and there are women. Consequently there are no generic Christian people. There are Christian men, and there are Christian women.

involves the teaching about kings in Deuteronomy 17. A king was not supposed to acquire many horses for himself (Deut 17:16) or to acquire many wives, nor was he to amass excess silver and gold (Deut 17:17). In other words, David is simply telling Solomon to develop godly character and obey what God has said. A man of God must not only know what God has said, but must incline his heart to do it. David connects all of this to the covenant God made with him in 2 Samuel 7:12-16. God is going to establish the throne of his kingdom forever and David understands this covenant to be contingent upon the obedience of his offspring. While we now know that God alone can keep this covenant, David is underscoring for his son that manhood requires obedience to the one true and living God.
The context of manhood

The Bible, when giving specic instruction and admonition to men, usually does so within three key categories: leading, providing and protecting. In other words, biblical masculinity involves a heart that is inclined to obey God within this particular context of leadership, provision and protection. This may take place predominantly as husbands and fathers, but still should be cultivated, encouraged and instilled in boys as they mature into manhood. While most passages that deal explicitly with gender-related issues occur in the context of marriage, 1 Kings 2:1-9 involves some of the last spoken words from a father to his son. David informs Solomon that death is near and he wants to give him some nal instruction. The instruction begins with an allencompassing admonition that Solomon should show himself a man. In other words, he should demonstrate his manhood. He should do things that men are supposed to do. Just imagine, a dying father (King David, no less) tells his son to be a man and then goes on to elaborate on that instruction. This is priceless, and it gives a glimpse into Davids understanding of what it means to be a man after Gods own heart.
While manhood requires obedience to God, there is a particular context in which this will be worked out. In other words, the way in which Solomon is to work out his commitment to God will be particularly masculine. It is going to be in the context of leading, providing and protecting. In verses 5-9 Joabs unlawful killing of two of Davids commanders is going to require a response from Solomon that involves avenging this act. Solomon is also going to have to protect and provide for the sons of Barzillai since they took care of David when he was running for Absolom. Finally, he is instructed to arrange a bloody death for Shimei. Imagine David giving these last words to a daughter. He may very well have included the rst part of the instruction (obey the commands of God) but this second part would look very different. Davids instruction has a particularly masculine context to it. Most of us know this intuitively. When there is a noise outside at night, I do not nudge my wife and say, Honey, you go see what it is. Further, most of us would ridicule a man who did something like this. Biblical manhood is lived out in a particular manner, a manner that means while it has the same moral and spiritual constraints of biblical womanhood, it will many times look very different in its expression since it is seen most clearly in the role of leader, provider and protector.
The character of manhood
First, David makes Solomon understand that manhood involves certain character. This means he is to demonstrate strength. The instruction is to be strong. This is not an individualistic, pull yourself up by your bootstraps type of strength. It is directly connected to Solomons resolve to obey God. Solomon is required to keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in His ways and keeping His statutes, His commandments, His rules and His testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses . . . (v. 3) David is reminding Solomon that God has spoken with regard to how one is to act and live. This is specically concerning the laws of Moses. It includes not only the Ten Commandments and other instruction, but it page 4 Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine
The content of manhood
But what does this actually look like? How is a man, particularly in his home, supposed to express his masculinity as the leader? As a suggestion, I am proposing nine areas where the husband should lead out in the home:
get this kind of authoritative instruction from their dad. I am not asking them to go out alone; I am teaching them exactly what to do.
Imitation: Watch me
Vision: This is where we are going
The leader in the home is the primary keeper of the vision. Developing the vision is to be done in consensus with your wife (and children if they are of the age to give meaningful input), but it is to be initiated by you. This is the big picture of what priorities your family should have, what you want your family to look like (we want our sons to be biblically masculine, and we want our daughters to be biblically feminine), what kind of home environment you want (honor God, encourage one another, no rivalries, etc.). So you sit down and ask, what do we want this thing to look like 10-15 years from now?
Direction: This is how we get there
Here is where you map out the details of the vision. These are the daily, weekly and monthly steps you are going to take in order to bring about the vision you have already agreed upon. For instance, my wife and I have a weekly date night and I take my children out individually two times per month. We go camping four times per year. I take my boys on hunting trips each year. You get the point. If you have a good vision, but no direction, it will not work. You may want your sons to learn how to play baseball (vision) but if you never throw a ball with them (direction) they will not learn. You do not need to produce a 50-page document but you do need to agree on some of the basic steps.
This is the heart of leadership isnt it? There is no room for the old Do what I say and not what I do. This is failed leadership. What we want are inspiring examples and clear demonstrations of proper living before God. I frequently tell my children, If I say it, you can say it. If I dont say it, you dont say it. This gives me remarkable consciousness of my own speech, and it inspires my children that proper speech can be achieved. What happens if I say the wrong words? Then I demonstrate something else for my children: the apology. I am sorry I said that. It was not appropriate. Will you forgive me? Many men think they should never apologize to their children for moments of sin and failure (for fear it demonstrates weakness), but this only hardens the heart of a child (and a wife for that matter) toward their father (husband). A good leader says with the Apostle Paul, Follow me inasmuch as I follow Christ. This means making restitution for the times when you sin and fail. Hardly anything can be more powerful in the life of your family.
Inspiration: Isnt this great (group)
As the leader in the home, you are responsible for the morale of the group. You must regularly instill in the members of your family that this is one great clan. Who else, outside of your home, is going to do this? Lets face it, there is not a constant state of euphoria in the home, but there should be a constant reminder from the leader that he thinks this thing is great.
Instruction: Let me show you how
Afrmation: Youre doing great (individual)
There are dozens of times each week when Go ask your mother is not going to be an adequate response to the inquiries of your children, at least not if you want to be a good leader in your home. On a regular basis, I rehearse dozens of possible scenarios with my children. What happens if someone says this to you? What will you do? What happens if someone is bothering your sister? Frankly, it is inspiring for my children to
Everyone needs afrmation, and they need it from the one who is leading them. The greatest leaders in the world are those who know how to encourage and inspire. The leader is responsible for overall morale and the key to this is individual encouragement. You must regularly pull your children aside and say, Im proud of you. Youre doing great. Im thrilled to be your dad, etc. This is doubly important for your wife. In a culture that is constantly pushing children away from their fathers
Southern Seminary Magazine | Winter 2005
page 5
and wives away from their husbands, the impact of afrmation is amazing and powerful.
Evaluation: How are we doing?
This is the hardest one. Men do not like to self-evaluate because we tend to think much more highly of ourselves than we ought. But the leader must regularly lift his head up, look around and see if this thing is going where it should. This is one of the true burdens of leadership and you must bear it. Sometimes it is the recognition that our schedules have gotten a little out of control and we must restructure our time. Sometimes we realize we have spoken harshly to one another, or have otherwise not communicated in the best way and we need to clear the air. It is certainly not always negative and most of the time we talk about good things. Regardless, this must be done regularly.
be counted on by Gods grace. I realize that fathers die, that husbands lose their jobs and have no work and that tragedy comes into the lives of children (like cancer and other illnesses) which no father can protect against. But there is still some sense in which a man should communicate this general principle to his wife and children. Even in these tragedies and difculties, a man can exercise his protection and provision by modeling his own dependence upon the Lord and can protect his home from bitterness, ill feelings toward the Lord, etc.
The Christ-likeness of manhood
Correction: Lets make a change
Evaluation is no good unless you agree on a plan to make the needed corrections. There is not much else to say here, but , you must initiate this process. It is a necessary part of good leadership.
One of the key results of this passage is that through King Solomons failure to show himself a man, it directs the reader to Christ who is the perfect King who demonstrated perfect manhood. Just a few chapters later in 1 Kings 9-11 the reader nds that Solomon has violated nearly every command Moses gave to kings in Deuteronomy 17. He marries outside of the faith and has to accommodate other worship practices (1 Kgs 9:24). He amassed horses and chariots for himself (10:26), and he acquired for himself excess silver and gold (10:21-22). He married many women (11:1-3) and consequently, as Moses had warned, his heart was turned away toward other gods, and he was not completely devoted to the Lord God of his father David (11:4-8). It should be impossible to read this passage without thinking of the perfections of Christ in contrast to the failures of Solomon. This passage should bring to mind the temptations of the Lord Jesus and his resistance to depending upon bread instead of God, putting God to the test and trading riches and honor for allegiance to God. He perfectly manifested a balance of masculine compassion and provision with the woman at the well and the woman caught in adultery and masculine righteous protective anger in denouncing the Pharisees and Sadducees and cleansing the temple. He set his face like a int toward the cross and, in spite of the abandonment of His disciples and their failure of nerve, He persevered to His death and victorious resurrection. In other words, biblical manhood is modeled after the Lord Jesus.
The cultivation of manhood

Protection and provision: Ill take care of you
This is the overarching sentiment of men leading in the home. This sentiment is expressed with great humility and with the full knowledge that no man can protect his family from every possible harm. It is done with the intention of communicating that, I will never leave you. I will spend my last drop of energy and love and life taking care of you, and I can page 6
One should not overlook the fact that the characteristics of biblical masculinity can and should be cultivated. It is easy to recall at this point Davids own life experiences. When standing before Saul in 1 Samuel 17:34-36 trying to convince him that he should be allowed to go out and ght Goliath, David brings up past experiences that have impacted his ability to take on this current ght. He has already killed a lion and a bear, and Goliath will be like them. Note also, this is not a selfreliant vision of masculinity, since he clearly understands that ultimately God delivered him from the mouth of the lion and the bear (1 Sam 17:37). God gives all of us opportunities each day to resist passivity and develop biblically masculine characteristics. Each of the challenges men face should be viewed as instruments in Gods hands that will help shape us as biblical men. These opportunities should be viewed with the same understanding exhibited by David. We must acknowledge that it is God who delivers and protects and cultivates. With that in mind, here are some ways men can, on a daily basis, cultivate masculine characteristics under the lordship of Christ: Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine
Do the hardest task rst
Attacking your hardest task of the day without delay will build your resistance to passivity. Waiting until the end of the day only reinforces your sinful tendencies toward passivity.
Make the hard phone call rst
While this is similar to the rst suggestion, it deals more with passivity within interpersonal relationships. Some men are willing to do the hard task rst, but avoid difcult situations involving other people.
Run to the battle
One only needs to consider the life of the Apostle Paul to see that conict is a regular feature of the Christian life. Men who think all conict should be avoided, or who refuse to engage with those who would harm the body of Christ or their family, not only model passivity but fail in the area of protection.
Do you work now as opposed to later
From term papers to tax ling, the man who is cultivating biblical masculinity will not allow these things to rule him. He will exercise dominion over them by doing them in a timely manner.
Keep your domain in order
While most of us on occasion have a messy desk or car trunk, a life that is characterized by disorder is evidence of passivity. Your home, dorm room, garage, ofce and car should bear the mark of your masculinity as you subdue it and keep it in order.
Kill a bear or a lion
In other words, do something that is a challenge for you. It may actually be to kill a bear or a lion, but it may be a health challenge like running a triathlon or a marathon. It may be something as basic as riding a roller coaster or as edgy as snorkeling with sharks. It may involve debating the atheist at work or starting a Bible study at home. It may mean you need to nally share the gospel with your lost friend or deal with a family conict that you have allowed to go on for too long. Mind you, these activities do not constitute manhood. But, as you consider your own challenges and interests, they can help to cultivate a sense of willingness to reject passivity and embrace the characteristics of biblical manhood to lead, provide and protect. Dont wait for some endorsement from the world and dont embrace the feminized version of manhood espoused by our culture. Hear the words of a father to a son and show yourself a man.

world seems increasingly confused about matters as basic as what it means to be male and female, Christians are called to frame our arguments in distinctively biblical terms.
page 9
hat interesting question was recently posed to me, and it raises some of the most important issues facing Christians today. While the
All around us, cultural developments and media messages communicate a fog of confusion over questions of gender. In reality, these issues lie right along the fault lines of todays culture war and its most controversial points of debate. For many years, this society has been experimenting with the most fundamental realities of human existence. The essence of what it means to be male or female has been routinely discounted by a society infatuated with unlimited self-expression and assertions of personal autonomy. Women are now joined by men, who complain that traditional expectations about gender roles are oppressive, limiting and intolerant. An entire generation of young women is trying to nd a way to genuine womanhood against the tidal force of ideological feminism. Similarly, boys and young men are desperately looking for models of manhood and answers to their urgent questions of male identity, male responsibility and male roles. Christians understand that God created human beings as male and female for His glory and for our good. The differences between the sexes are not matters of evolutionary accident, but are clear indications of Gods sublime and perfect design for human happiness. As followers of Christ, we understand that it is our responsibility to embrace, afrm and fulll the roles and responsibilities God has given us. In the context of this confusion, boys are especially vulnerable. The feminization of society, mixed with confusing cultural signals, has led many boys and young men to be uncertain and unaware of their masculinity and proper role. In a desperate search for a secure male identity, some are attracted to gross distortions. Some embrace a brutalized and arrogant posture while others retreat into insecure manhood, never understanding a mans responsibility to lead. We now face the phenomenon of perpetual boyhood on the part of many males. Refusing to grow up, these young men function as boys well into their 20s some even into their 30s and beyond. An extended male adolescence marks the lifestyles, expectations and behavior of far too many young males, whose masculine identity is embraced awkwardly, if at all.
Spiritual maturity sufcient to lead a wife and children The Bible is clear about a mans responsibility to exercise spiritual maturity and spiritual leadership. Of course, this spiritual maturity takes time to develop, and it is a gift of the Holy Spirit working within the life of the believer. The disciplines of the Christian life, including prayer and serious Bible study, are among the means God uses to mold a boy into a man and to bring spiritual maturity into the life of one who is charged to lead a wife and family. This spiritual leadership is central to the Christian vision of marriage and family life. A mans spiritual leadership is not a matter of dictatorial power, but of rm and credible spiritual leadership and inuence. A man must be ready to lead his wife and his children in a way that will honor God, demonstrate godliness, inculcate Christian character and lead his family to desire Christ and to seek Gods glory. Spiritual maturity is a mark of true Christian manhood, and a spiritually immature man is, in at least this crucial sense, spiritually just a boy. Personal maturity sufcient to be a responsible husband and father Christians often speak of raising boys to be men. In the face of todays cultural onslaught, this is an important goal. However, it is just not enough. Biblical manhood is always dened in terms of functions, roles and responsibilities. True masculinity is not a matter of exhibiting supposedly masculine characteristics devoid of the context of responsibility. In the Bible, a man is called to fulll his role as husband and father. Unless granted the gift of celibacy for Gospel service, the Christian boy is to aim for marriage and fatherhood. This is assuredly a counter-cultural assertion, but the role of husband and father is central to manhood. Boys must be raised to see themselves as future husbands and fathers. They must be taught what to look for in a godly wife and how to fulll all of the responsibilities that Scripture invests in a husband and father. Marriage is unparalleled in its effect on men, as it channels their energies and directs their responsibilities to the Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine
When does a boy become a man? The answer to this must go far beyond biology and chronological age. As dened in the Bible, manhood is a functional reality, demonstrated in a mans fulllment of responsibility and leadership.
With this in mind, let me suggest 13 marks of biblical manhood. The achievement of these vital qualities marks the emergence of a man who will demonstrate true biblical masculinity. page 10
devoted covenant of marriage and the grace-lled civilization of the family. Boys must be taught what it means to be a husband, how to respect and honor marriage, and how to earn the respect and condence of a wife. Similarly, boys must be taught about the responsibilities of fatherhood. Christians must reverse generations of inattention by speaking directly and clearly to boys about their future responsibilities, including the care, training, education, protection and discipline of children. They must aspire to be the kind of man a Christian woman would gladly marry and children will trust, respect and obey. Economic maturity sufcient to hold an adult job and handle money Advertisers and marketers know where to aim their messages directly at adolescent boys and young men. This particular segment of the population is inordinately attracted to material goods, popular entertainment, sporting events and other consumer options. The portrait of young manhood made popular in the media and presented as normal through entertainment is characterized by economic carelessness, self-centeredness and laziness. A real man knows how to hold a job, handle money with responsibility and take care of the needs of his wife and family. A failure to develop economic maturity means that young men often oat from job to job and take years to nd themselves in terms of career and vocation. Once again, an extended adolescence marks a huge segment of todays young male population. A boy must be taught how to work, how to save, how to invest and how to spend money with care. He must be taught to respect labor and to feel the satisfaction that comes from a job well done and a dollar honestly earned. Too many boys are coddled and entertained, demonstrating a laziness that will be highly detrimental to their future prospects as husband and father. Slothfulness, laziness and economic carelessness are marks of immaturity. A real man knows how to earn, manage and respect money. A Christian man understands the danger that comes from the love of money and fullls his responsibility as a Christian steward. Physical maturity sufcient to work and protect a family Unless aficted by injury or illness, a boy should develop the physical maturity that, by stature and strength, marks recognizable manhood. Of course, men come in many sizes and demonstrate different levels of physical strength, but common to all men is a maturity, through which a man demonstrates his masculinity by movement,
condence and strength. A man must be ready to put his physical strength on the line to protect his wife and children and to fulll his God-assigned tasks. A boy must be taught to channel his developing strength and emerging size into a self-consciousness of responsibility, recognizing that adult strength is to be combined with adult responsibility and true maturity.
Sexual maturity sufcient to marry and fulll Gods purposes As a boy develops into a man, he becomes aware of the sexual powers God has put within him. In an age saturated with distorted sexuality, bombarded with sexual stimulation and confused by unbridled sexual passion, boys must be taught to discipline their sexual energies into anticipation of marriage. Even as the society celebrates sex in every form and at every age, the true Christian man practices sexual integrity, avoiding pornography, fornication, all forms of sexual promiscuity and corruption. He understands the danger of lust, but rejoices in the sexual capacity and reproductive power God has put within him, committing himself to nd a wife, and to earn her love, trust, and admiration and eventually to win her hand in marriage. Boys must be taught to respect this incredible gift and to protect this gift until, within the context of holy marriage, they are able to fulll this gift, love their wives and look to Gods gift of children. Male sexuality separated from the context and integrity of marriage is an explosive and dangerous reality. The boy must understand, even as he travels through the road of puberty and an awakened sexuality, that he is accountable to God for his stewardship of this great gift.
Moral maturity sufcient to lead as example of righteousness Stereotypical behavior on the part of young males is, in the main, marked by recklessness, irresponsibility and worse. As a boy grows into manhood, he must develop moral maturity as he aspires to righteousness, learning to think like a Christian, act like a Christian and show others how to do the same. The Christian man is to be an example to others, teaching by both precept and example. Of course, this requires the exercise of responsible moral reasoning. Boys will not learn this on their own. They must be taught. True moral education begins with a clear understanding of moral standards, but must move to the higher level of moral reasoning by which a young man learns how biblical principles are translated
page 11
into godly living and how the moral challenges of his day must be met with the truths revealed in Gods inerrant and infallible Word. Biblical manhood does not develop in a vacuum. A boys most important teacher is his dad, and one of a fathers chief responsibilities is to instruct and inspire his son into true manhood.
Ethical maturity sufcient to make responsible decisions To be a man is to make decisions. One of the most fundamental tasks of leadership is decision-making. The indecisiveness of so many contemporary males is evidence of a stunted manhood. Of course, a man does not rush to a decision without thought, consideration or care, but a man does put himself on the line in making a decision and making it stick. This requires an extension of moral responsibility into mature ethical decision-making that brings glory to God, is faithful to Gods Word and is open to moral scrutiny. Parents often leave their sons unprepared for this role by making decisions for them and by failing to teach boys how to think and reason in responsible terms, how to weigh evidence and think clearly, and how to prioritize values according to a biblical standard. A real man knows how to make a decision and live with its consequences even if that means that he must later acknowledge that he has learned by making a bad decision, and then by making the appropriate correction. Worldview maturity sufcient to understand what is really important An inversion of values marks our postmodern age, and the predicament of modern manhood is made all the more perplexing by the fact that many men lack the capacity of consistent worldview thinking. For the Christian, this is doubly tragic, for our Christian discipleship must be demonstrated in the development of a Christian mind. The Christian man must understand how to interpret and evaluate issues across the spectrum of politics, economics, morality, entertainment, education and a seemingly endless list of other elds. The absence of consistent biblical worldview thinking is a key mark of spiritual immaturity. A boy must be taught how to translate Christian truth into genuine Christian thinking. He must learn how to defend biblical truth before his peers and in the public square, and he must acquire the ability to extend Christian thinking, based on biblical principles, to every arena of life. page 12
Relational maturity sufcient to understand and respect others. Psychologists now talk of emotional intelligence, or EQ, as a major factor in personal development. While the world has given much attention to IQ, EQ is just as important. Individuals who lack the ability to relate to others are destined to fail at some of lifes most signicant challenges and will not fulll some of their most important responsibilities and roles. By nature, many boys are inwardly directed. While girls learn how to read emotional signals and connect, many boys lack the capacity to do so and seemingly fail to understand the absence of these skills. While a man is to demonstrate emotional strength, constancy and steadfastness, he must be able to relate to his wife, his children, his peers, his colleagues and a host of others in a way that demonstrates respect, understanding and appropriate empathy. This will not be learned by playing video games and by entering into the privatized world experienced by many male adolescents. Parents especially fathers must draw their sons out of inwardness, and demonstrate what it means to relate to others as a man and as a Christian.

Social maturity sufcient to make a contribution to society While the arena of the home is an essential and inescapable focus of a mans responsibility, he is also called out of the home into the workplace and the larger world as a witness and as one who will make a contribution to the common good. God has created human beings as social creatures, and even though our ultimate citizenship is in heaven, we must also fulll our citizenship on earth. A boy must learn to fulll a political responsibility as a citizen and a moral responsibility as a member of a human community. The Christian man bears a civilizational responsibility, and boys must be taught to see themselves as shapers of the society even as the church is identied by our Lord as both salt and light. Similarly, a Christian man must learn how to relate to unbelievers, both as a witness and as fellow citizens of an earthly kingdom.
Verbal maturity sufcient to communicate and articulate as a man Heres a striking phenomenon of our times many adolescent boys and young men seem to communicate only through a series of guttural clicks, grunts and inchoate language that can hardly be described as verbal. A man must be able to speak, to be understood and to communicate in a way that will honor God and convey Gods truth to others. Parents must work with boys, requiring them to speak, to articulate and to learn respect for language. This respect must extend to an ability to enunciate words so that articulation is clear and communication succeeds. This skill must be learned at the dinner table, in family conversation and in one-on-one talk, especially between father and son. Beyond the context of conversation, a boy must learn how to speak before larger groups, overcoming the natural intimidation and fear that comes from looking at a crowd, opening ones mouth and projecting words. Though not all men will become public speakers, every man should have the ability to take his ground, frame his words and make his case when truth is under re and when belief and conviction must be translated into argument.

In the end, a mans character is revealed in the crucible of everyday challenges. For most men, life will also bring moments when extraordinary courage will be required, if he is to remain faithful and true. Parents should give close attention to their sons character, for if character is corrupt, nothing else will really matter.

Character maturity sufcient to demonstrate courage under re The literature of manhood is replete with stories of courage, bravery, and audacity. At least, thats the way it used to be. Now, with manhood both minimalized and marginalized by cultural elites, ideological subversion and media confusion, we must recapture a commitment to courage that is translated into the real-life challenges faced by the Christian man. At times, the quality of courage is demonstrated when a man risks his own life in defense of others, especially his wife and children, but also anyone who is in need of rescue. More often, this courage is demonstrated in taking a stand under hostile re, refusing to succumb to the temptation of silence and standing as a model and example to others, who will then be encouraged to stand their own ground. In these days, biblical manhood requires great courage. The prevailing ideologies and worldviews of this age are inherently hostile to Christian truth and are corrosive to Christian faithfulness. It takes great courage for a boy to commit himself to sexual purity and for a man to devote himself unreservedly to his wife. It takes great courage to say no to what this culture insists are the rightful pleasures and delights of the esh. It takes courage to serve as a godly husband and father, to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. It takes courage to maintain personal integrity in a world that devalues the truth, disparages Gods Word and promises self-fulllment and happiness only through the assertion of undiluted personal autonomy. A mans true condence is rooted in the wells of courage, and courage is evidence of character.
Biblical maturity sufcient to lead at some level in the church A close look at many churches will reveal that a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men of the congregation and a lack of biblical knowledge that leaves men ill equipped and completely unprepared to exercise spiritual leadership. Boys must be taught to know, to treasure, to honor and to understand the Bible. They must know their way around the biblical text and feel at home in the study of Gods Word. They must be taught how to read with care, rightly dividing the Word of truth, and they must learn how to apply the eternal truths of Gods Word to the challenges of modern manhood. Furthermore, they must stand ready to take their place as leaders in the local church. While God has appointed specic ofcers for his church men who are specially gifted and publicly called every man should fulll some leadership responsibility within the life of the congregation. For some men, this may mean a less public role of leadership than is the case with others. In any event, a man should be able to teach someone and to lead in some ministry, translating his personal discipleship into the fulllment of a godly call. There is a role of leadership for every man in every church, whether that role is public or private, large or small, ofcial or unofcial. A man should know how to pray before others, to present the Gospel and to stand in the gap where a leadership need is apparent.
When does a boy become a man?
Im glad I was asked this question, and this article represents my attempt to provide an answer that will be both faithful to Scripture and applicable to the real-life challenges faced by men today. More urgently, it was good for me to think through this question and articulate these hallmarks as I seek to show my own son how to grow into biblical manhood. I am absolutely sure that there is more to be thought and more to be said, but this may help us all to see the challenges before us. Dads, you are crucial to the process of man-making. No one else can fulll your responsibility, and no one else can match your opportunity for inuence with your son. By word and by example, we are teaching our sons the meaning of manhood. May God make us faithful as we seek to lead our boys to become true Christian men.

A
s women, we have high goals and expectations for our future home life. From the time we are little girls, we dream of what being a wife and a
mother are all about. We envision ourselves getting married with the beautiful white lace and all the extras, the little house we will live in, the two kids, the dog and, oh yes, the man we will spend the rest of our lives with. We dream of the day he will whisk us off our feet with romance, how we will be the center of his universe. We pray and ask God for just a glimpse of who he will be and try to t most of those we meet into the slot to see if he ts just in case.
page 15
The fact of the matter is we want to marry just like Jesus.

We are looking for the ultimate person who will be everything that God intended a husband to be, and we are ready to commit our lives to him at the drop of a hat. We envision this mystery man to be the ultimate partner in every area. We want someone who will be the leader of our home, is a great listener, loves people, cares for others, is sensitive, has the respect of the community, provides for and protects his family and believes just like we do in every area. The fact of the matter is we want to marry someone just like Jesus. That is a great standard. But, there is a problem. We tend to have standards so high that they seem almost impossible to meet. No one seems to live up to our expectations other than the Lord Himself. I remember that the standard was so high for my daughter (and we had instilled this in her since birth) that one day I just had to sit her down and have a heart to heart with her. No one like Jesus is available. You are going to have to lower your standards. Now I admit that this is one conversation that I thought I would never have with my daughter. I always thought that I would have to help her to raise her standards, not lower them. The fact of the matter is that many women tend to lose their balance in one direction or the other their standards are either way too high or way too low. Frankly, it is just not good either way. I had to help my daughter understand that men were human and that as much as she would like to nd a perfect one, he is just not out there. I made sure she understood not to completely throw out the concept and that close to perfection was, in fact, a good way to approach things. You must look for someone who wants to be like Jesus, strives to live like Him and challenges you to do the same. page 16
So, what on earth does a Christian woman look for in a man? It is a compelling question. I feel sure there are numerous books on the subject, but Im too busy trying to be a Christian wife to search the stacks or the Internet for the book with all the answers. Besides, I am certain that the Bible is the ultimate manual on the subject, so lets see what we can glean from the Word of God in order to know what to look for in a Christian man.
Lover of God
First and foremost, we need to look for a man who has a passion for Christ and a passion for us. Make no mistake about it, this is essential. So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; for no one ever hated his own esh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also {does} the church, because we are members of His body. (Eph 5:28-30) In Ephesians we see that husbands should love their wives as much as Christ loved the church. Christ died for the church. This is not just a romantic love but a sacricial love. A husband should have a passion for Christ rst. When he does, it will manifest itself in a passion for his wife. He will want to show and share his love for her just as Christ showed and shared his love for the body of Christ. The rst thing for any woman to look for is a man who has an absolute passion for God. This is a man who can show you how to love Jesus by his very being and his every action. This would be a man who would model what a Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine
someone
passionate Christian is all about for his kids, man who lives out his faith so much that it is caught and taught. Look for a man who is a lover of God and you will nd a man who will love you passionately as well.
Leader of the home
While the Scriptures speak of many essentials, the next one would be to look for a man who is a leader. When I say leader, that can mean so many things but here it to a man who will lead you and lead your family a man who has the potential to be the patriarch of the family. A man who can lead in spiritual things is certainly important but also essential is a man who can lead his wife and family in decisions. Men are to be the providers and the protectors of the family. To do this he must know how to lead. Not every young man will wake up knowing how to lead, but a woman should seek to nd a man who desires to be the head of his home and wants to learn how to do it Gods way. But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. (1 Tim 5:8) Gods Word clearly states that men are to be the providers and the protectors. Women love being provided for and protected. It is the mans responsibility to provide for the family. There may be seasons where creative help is needed. One quick read of the Proverbs 31 woman and you are reminded that women can help and work and this may be needed at times but it should not be the way it is all the time. Seasons come and go but men are to be the providers for the family. Im not sure exactly when it all started but somewhere along the way, we lost what it means to be male and female. We have masculine women and feminine men, and we have to put an end to it. Give me a mans man any day of the week. Look for a man to lead who looks like a man, thinks like a man, leads like a man and is proud to be a man. Christian women need to be feminine and men need to be men no apologies. Marry a man who is stronger than you are physically, mentally and spiritually. Marry a man who will be a patriarch for the family and will model what biblical manhood is all about. This will be a man that you can respect and the kind of man that will make it easy to follow him.
can always creep in at unexpected times but the most inuential people I have met have also been those who are the most teachable, the most humble. From all appearances in this world, they have every reason to gloat. Yet, they rest on the assurance that God is in control and that there is so much more to learn. You can almost see the humility and strength they exude. A few may have come from humble beginnings, but, more often than not, these giants of the faith have such a passion for God and are such great leaders that when you get close and see their humility that just draws you into a closer walk with God. Every women needs to look for a husband who is still a learner. I asked a brand new seminary student what she would look for in a Christian man and one of the rst things she listed was a man who was not a know it all. There is no place for arrogance in Gods Kingdom, especially within the context of a marriage.
Listener to the wife
One of the biggest complaints I hear is that men wont listen to women. Women need to look for a man who will listen to her. Yes, it helps when both sexes know how to communicate with each other, but regardless of the skills here, every woman needs a man who will just let her share her emotions and not try to x it all. Believe it or not, women sometimes just need to get all
Learner in life
Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding so that I can learn Your commands. (Ps 119:73) I am so blessed to be able to travel in this country and in Canada. In my travels I meet all kinds of interesting people. One of the things that amazes me is how many claim to be strong believers who somehow think they have arrived.

For a husband to be a passionate lover of God and a patriarchal leader, he must also be a learner. A man who is passionate for God must be a man who is also a learner. He must be teachable and humble. Those who have no problem with God being in charge and God being all-knowing certainly understand that they have a few things to learn and are eager to do so.
Seek to nd a Christian man who pursues righteousness and loyalty, and you will be blessed.
passionate for God, a leader of his family, a learner of the faith, a listener, and believer of the same doctrine. Not every couple will agree on every doctrine yet you will nd that the more in common you have, the easier it will be. Biblical likeness is so much more than just being a believer. Women need to look for men who hold high the truth of the Word of God. Being like-minded can also include some other issues such as culture and politics. The more a husband and wife have in common, the more peace there will be.
that stuff out. It may not be so important to understand all the details or get the bottom line rst, but it is very important that every husband communicates a genuine attitude of caring. That is really what it is all about. Just let her spill, tell her that you love her and assure her that it will be all right and you will be a hero who begins to realize the importance of listening. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. (Jer 29:12) God always listens. Men who have a passion for God and want to lead their families will want to learn to listen to their wives and offer comfort, direction and support as needed.
Loyalty to purity
Like-minded in belief
The postmodern worldview has taught us that diversity is good the more global and diverse, the better. I have found this to be very far from the truth in marriage. In fact, just the opposite is true. The more like-minded you are in your beliefs and culture, the greater chance that you will have a strong marriage. We all know that opposites attract and there are many things that can balance a marriage when each is a little different in some area. However, it is absolutely biblical that people not be un-equally yoked in marriage. Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Cor 6:14) Christian women need to look for a Christian man who is page 18
It may seem strange to add a word like loyalty when that is essentially what marriage is all about being loyal to one another. I add it because it often seems to be lacking these days. A marriage should be built on commitment, integrity and loyalty. It is another essential ingredient for survival. In a day of rampant pornography and adultery, we have to make sure that women look for a man who has a passion for purity a man who longs for holiness and desires to be loyal to his wife, no matter what. He who pursues righteousness and loyalty nds life, righteousness and honor. (Prov 21:21) The commitment to purity will not manifest itself all at once, so women need to look with eyes wide open for signs of purity. Be aware of how your shining prince spends his free time and what the inuences are in his life. Seek to nd a Christian man who pursues righteousness and loyalty. Find this and you will be truly blessed. Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine
Laughs in life
Humor is so important. At the most stressful times, a little humor can go a long way. Humor is healthy. A Christian woman needs to nd a man who has a sense of humor, a man who can laugh at himself and make life fun for all. Marry someone who can make you smile. [There is] a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. (Eccles 3:4) Be a woman who has fun and look for a man with whom you can laugh and have fun.
Conclusion
While there are so many parts of marriage that are important, do make sure that as you look for a Christian man in your life (or help a woman you know nd one), remember that while you may have a long list, there are several important truths.
Look for a man who loves Jesus and loves you with all his heart. Look for a man who will be the patriarch and leader in your home. Find a man who is man enough to be teachable. Seek a man who will listen and be compassionate. Find one who is like-minded in the Christian faith and who believes the Word of God is true. Pay close attention to loyalty and integrity issues. And nally, nd a man you can have fun with. Having a Christian husband with all these traits can result in a marriage that gives glory to God. I am so blessed to have found such a man in my life, and my prayer for you is that you nd the same. It all happens with much prayer. Just ask God to be your eyes and your ears and to show you what He has for you. Trust Him with all your heart and He will show you great and mighty things. Most importantly, be the woman that God calls you to be, and you will attract the kind of man that will honor God and you in the days to come. May God bless you in all your relationships this very day.

The car struck one tree with a glancing blow, and Fee leaned over to protect the stomach of her sister, who was pregnant. When the car struck a second tree head-on, Fees protection helped her sister and the baby avoid injury. But the impact wrenched Fees back and left her almost totally incapacitated. Over the next two and a half years, Fee went through intensive physical therapy, experienced pain that seemed almost unbearable at times and learned to walk all over again.

cess of struggling spiritually to become more like Jesus. She emerged from this trial committed to follow Christ and embarked on a spiritual journey leading eventually to womens ministry, marriage and education at Southern Seminary. Fee became a Christian in 1986 and started teaching womens Bible study less than six months after her conversion. Dozens of women came to faith in Christ under Fees teaching, and she immersed herself in theological books. But Fee lacked the years of Christian living that give teachers credibility before their students, she said. God stripped me of absolutely everything so that I could put my theology into practice and so that I could live it before those who I was teaching, Fee said of her car accident. I had a lot of head knowledge, but I hadnt lived it for very long. God stripping me of everything caused me to completely trust in Him. Learning to walk again, Fee discovered that depending on Jesus was the only way to make it through the days. One trip to the grocery store served as a particularly vivid illustration of Christian sanctication for Fee. Attempting to buy chili for her brotherin-law, Fee discovered that she could not make it from her car to the produce department without falling repeatedly and leaning on her cane. I had the goal of that chili, and its just like the whole sanctication process, she said. It gave me illustrations to tell the women as I was teaching through Ephesians that one day were going to be perfected in Christ and one day were going to be in glory. But along the road Hes given us the Holy Spirit. And thats like my cane or my wheelchair because some days I cant even carry myself spiritually or physically, but the Holy Spirit is the one who carries us. Armed with a renewed trust in and dependence upon God, Fee taught approximately 60 women each week with a re-energized level of condence and fruitfulness, leading in-depth studies of such Scripture passages as the book of Ephesians and Proverbs 31. I was able to stand before 50-60 women and say, God can take everything from me, but Ive been sealed with the Holy Spirit, and He cant take my salvation. Its been paid for. Ive been bought for a price with the blood of the Lamb. As Fee gained experience as a teacher, she discovered a great need among Christian women to learn what the Bible teaches about the roles of men and women. When women learn about the character of God and His expectations for them, they can shape their identities based on Scripture and experience true freedom, she said. David had been called to ministry and was serving as a teacher at the same Rochester church where Fee served as womens ministry director. The two teachers talked regularly and helped each other with their weekly lesson plans, but neither anticipated that their friendship would lead to marriage. He was teaching the leadership development classes on Monday evening, and I was teaching the womens Bible study Tuesday morning and Tuesday night, she said. We would help each other with our studies and correspond back and forth. Everyone in the church had us married except for us because we were just best friends. But eventually David and Gayle realized what other church members already knew: God made them for each other. They were married in 1991 and began a life of ministry together, planting a Baptist church in 1994 and moving to Columbus, Ga., in 1996, where David was called to pastoral ministry. Over the years, Fee continued ministering to women but found that her most important role was to be an encouragement to her husband. I see my primary role to be my husbands greatest supporter, his greatest prayer warrior, his greatest cheerleader and to come alongside him and to encourage him, Fee said. And so much of my ministry is wrapped up around that. After more than a decade of ministry together in the local church, the Fees enrolled at Southern Seminary to pursue degrees in theology and become better equipped to teach the Bible. They graduated with master of divinity degrees in 2004. In fall of 2005, they returned to Southern to pursue doctoral degrees a doctor of philosophy in the school of leadership and church ministry for Gayle and a doctor of ministry in the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth for David. While studying at Southern, David Fee was called as pastor of Glens Creek Baptist Church in Versailles, Ky., east of Louisville. Gayle began serving as the churchs womens ministry director, where they continue to serve today. page 21

My identity was shaped by the world, Fee said. When I came to understand and began to study theology and the Word of God, the Lord gave me a strong desire to write and teach womens Bible studies so that other women might have that exalted view of God, a biblical understanding of themselves and a hunger to live for His Gospel and His glory. At the same time Fee was teaching women in her church about biblical womanhood, God began to teach her a personal lesson about biblical womanhood by introducing her to her future husband David.

Stuart and Zondra Scott
Stuart Scotts rst exposure to the need of biblical counseling came out of necessity.
As a young pastor in Columbia, S.C., Scott had attempted to deal with the scrambled-egg crises of peoples lives whether it was a 39-year-old man in his sixth marriage or a distraught woman escaping her problems by wandering down the highway in a rainstorm at midnight. But the only answer he could nd from books and other pastors was one refer them. I did not know how to help these people, Scott said. If they asked me a question about the Trinity I would try to help them, but if they thought that they were a member of the Trinity, I did not know what to do. This dearth of scriptural counseling drove Scott both to learn a biblicallybased approach for his own counseling purposes and to train others in applying the salve and solutions of Scripture directly to the lives of individuals. It is this task that he is still pursuing as a new professor of biblical counseling at Boyce College and Southern Seminary. For Scott now, as when he rst started to develop a passion for biblical counseling, referring is not the solution primarily because so many clinical counselors lack a biblical basis for their work [After referring the people in my congregation], I would just ask them on Sunday, How are you doing? What is going on? What did they [the psychologists] say your problem is? And they would say, Well, they pretty much want to talk with me and they ask me how I feel. I said, Well, do they use the Scriptures? No. Do they pray with you? Well, no. And then I became alarmed. Upon investigating some of the practices of Christian psychologists to whom he had referred congregation members, Scotts alarm only grew. One counselor gave an abused girl a stuffed animal on which to pound out her frustrations. Another psychologist used hypnosis for a man with homosexual struggles. One referred patient was advised not to go to church or read the Bible, because he felt worse after he did that. It was at that time that I cried out to Winter 2005 | Southern Seminary Magazine

God and just said that I need more help, Scott said. I need more learning. I need to know how to help the people practically in our church. God granted this wisdom over time, and Scott furthered his training through the Atlanta Biblical Counseling Center and National Association of Nouthetic Counselors Conferences. Later, he received a doctor of ministry with an emphasis in biblical counseling from Covenant Seminary. Now, Scott has brought his knowledge to bear on his teaching at Southern Seminary and Boyce College. He started his ministry at the two schools this fall. Scott comes to Southern after spending the last 10 years on staff at Grace Community Church and The Masters College and Seminary in Sun Valley, Calif. both of which are led by renowned pastor John MacArthur. Scott had been praying for a chance to come back to the South in order to be closer to his and his wifes parents whose health had been declining. But, he would not move to just any school. If I was going to teach in any school, I could only think of one school that had such high esteem, at least for me, and that was Southern, said Scott, who will split his time between the seminary and Boyce College. As Scott begins his ministry in Louisville, the seminary is beginning a transformation in its counseling program from a more clinical model that integrates secular psychology and biblical training to one geared more towards the use of Scripture in counseling in a local church setting. Scott will be a big part of this transition. Im excited with the program here, Scott said. In his classes, Scott hopes his students will become increasingly convinced of the sufciency of Scripture for all things in life and ministry. In the area of training people I want to be able to help them mine the Scriptures for their counseling, presuppositions, goals, content and methodology, Scott said. Scotts ministry, however, is not limited just to teaching. He has also published a book, The Exemplary Husband (Focus, 2002). The need for the book surfaced as Scott counseled couples. In his experience, marriage trouble often boiled down to failures on the part of the husband either not loving his wife enough, not loving Christ enough or both. Writing is hard work for me, Scott said. But once it was done, I was really thankful. I could put something in a husbands hand that he could work through and be encouraged and challenged toward the standard that Christ holds him to. Scott has also written a piece on biblical masculinity, published by The Counsel on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood. Both of Scotts writings deal with a denite deciency in the church today the lack of knowledge or teaching on biblical manhood. an incapacitating fear of people. I had a paralyzing fear of man, Scott said. It was rooted in pride, but I was told I was timid and shy. So I stayed away from every public speaking avenue. Though he had perceived the call to ministry in college through his desire and others conrmation his fear caused him only to want to pastor as small a church as possible with as few people as possible, he said. But that all changed in his rst year homiletics class at Grace Seminary in Winona Lake, Ind. A professor of mine took me aside and lovingly admonished me of my sinful fear of man, Scott recalled. He said, You are obviously very nervous; whats on your mind? And I said, How Im coming across and what people think. What was very helpful was his gracious challenge that I was being very self-focused. You might think thats pretty elementary, but it was revolutionary to me. Shortly after this revelation, Scott took a staff position at a local church, and he has been doing public ministry ever since. Scotts seminary years also brought another life change for the budding minister. During his nal year of seminary, he found his wife, Zondra or rather his father found her for him. His father at that time served as a professor of Bible and science at Scotts alma mater Columbia International University, a position he held for some 25 years. Zondra was his grader. Now married 25 years, the Scotts have two children Christa, 20, and Mark, 18. After seminary, Scott ministered in several positions, serving as an associate pastor for a year at a church in Columbia and pastoring that same church for seven years. It was this time in ministry that demonstrated to him what he now teaches at Southern Seminary the tremendous need for true biblical counseling and its inclusion in local church ministerial training. Counseling experience greatly affects how one preaches and teaches, Scott said. If you preach and teach and dont counsel, the preaching tends to be very theoretical and truth can be perceived as just platitudes rather than as being directly applicable to life and life changing. A Christian pastor must both feed and tend the sheep, and thereby assist all the saints in his congregation in becoming competent to counsel. page 23
According to Scott, biblical manhood involves more than just being courageous; it should include ideas such as leadership, protection, provision, loving care, gentleness and servanthood. Christ is the perfect example of biblical manhood, Scott said. Some men really have the loving, gentle approach, but theyre very weak on the leadership. Or theyre strong on the leadership, and theyre very weak on loving care. Its only possible to develop those with Christ; otherwise, were just totally selfish. Scott also does a lot of speaking usually at churches and marriage conferences. Interestingly, at one point in his life, Scott could never have imagined having such a speaking and teaching ministry.

By Jeff Robinson
A.T. Robertson tolerated no tomfoolery when it came to his students participating in oral exercises during Greek class at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
So unforgettable was Robertsons classroom manner, 96-year-old Raymond Coppenger, a 1936 graduate of Southern Seminary, still recalls with photographic clarity those days of working out Greek grammar and syntax with fear and trembling, nearly seven decades after sitting under Robertsons teaching. He was a tough professor but he was also kind of funny, Coppenger said. You had to stand up in the aisle and recite from the text with no aids at all. He was strict about that and it was very intimi-
dating to most of us. He was very serious usually, but one day he asked me, Who is the best preacher in Georgia since you left? It was pretty funny for him to have said that and I have never forgotten his teasing me. Coppenger is the patriarch of three generations of men who have developed intimate ties with Southern Seminary. He earned the master of theology degree from the school during the Great Depression and went on to earn a doctor of philosophy in church history from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Coppengers son, Mark, today serves as distinguished professor of apologetics at the seminary and his grandson, Jedidiah, is a master of divinity student at the school. Southern Seminary has always been a special place for my family, he said. Raymond Coppengers life and ministry are themselves a story that spanned most of the 20th century. Born outside the tiny Appalachian community of Coker Creek, Tenn., Coppenger spent most of his formative years in Atlanta.
He grew up attending church riding four miles from home to Sunday school and worship services in a hay wagon pulled by a mule team and was converted at age 10 in Etowah, Tenn. While transportation was primarily by horse and wagon, Coppenger recalls that his grandfather owned one of the rst automobiles in his community. As a high school senior in Atlanta, Coppenger surrendered to the call to ministry at age 18. He received his undergraduate degree from Mercer University and in the years following his graduation from Southern Seminary, Coppenger assembled a lengthy and impressive ministerial resume. He served as associate pastor of First Baptist Church of Newport, Tenn. After two years there, he was called to the pastorate in Butler, Tenn., where he helped to found Wautauga Baptist Academy. However, with the drums of war growing louder each day in late-1930s America, the Tennessee Valley Authority began to buy land to build dams in the Tennessee Valley. The town of Butler relocated and

Coppenger answered a call to pastor a church in Pennington Gap, Va. Two years later, he answered another call: that of Uncle Sam. Coppenger reported to duty in August of 1943 as a chaplain with the U.S. Navy. He spent 37 months in the Navy during World War II, a hitch that included time assigned to the 3rd Amphibious Corps in the Pacic. He spent time on Guadalcanal, Guam and Okinawa before the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending the war. After serving in China, Coppenger returned home just before Christmas in 1945 to his wife, Agnes, whom he had met and married during his naval training. The Coppengers spent a year in Lexington, Ky., working to establish a Baptist Student Union at the University of Kentucky, but in the fall of 1946, they moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, aboard the Queen Mary for doctoral studies at the University of Edinburgh. Earning this degree opened new opportunities for Coppenger. He began what would begin a four-decade ministry of teaching when he was appointed associate professor of religion and philosophy at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tenn. Philosophy has always been a fascinating subject, he said. I always liked it but I was kind of forced to learn more deeply about it during my rst teaching job at Cumberland. I knew a little about the Bible and practically nothing about philosophy at rst. I had to learn quickly. He remained at Cumberland for three years. During this time, Agnes gave birth to their rst two children, Mark and Anne. Next, he taught at Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tenn. Then, in 1952, the family moved to Nashville where Raymond taught at Belmont College. In 1954 he gained a position he kept for more than 20 years when he was appointed a professor at Ouachita Baptist College in Arkadelphia, Ark., a city in which he still resides today. Anne Coppenger recalls attending her fathers classes at Ouachita and the indelible mark her father left on her brother. Both Mark and I took classes from dad and, for other classes, we helped him grade the multiple choice parts of his tests, she said. Mark took right to it and you knew he was going to be a great teacher himself. We would take summer trips in the car and hear dad talk about things like metaphysics. When Mark was young he would sit down and read encyclopedias so it seemed like he knew everything. Mark has always been a leader. In 1975, Raymond Coppenger had his rst professional contact with Southern Seminary when he taught classes for Boyce College in Little Rock. I did that for two or three years and I also preached almost every weekend and Johnsons boys. We got along pretty well thanks to professor Johnson. The quartet sang at the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1934 in Kansas City and at the Northern Baptist Conventions annual meeting the same year in the same city. Coppenger also served as a headwaiter in the dining hall that in those days encompassed one wing in Mullins Hall. He worked part-time downtown in the admissions ofce at Municipal Hospital where he kept records and interviewed patients. I got to do a lot of street preaching and we had Saturday night services on the waterfront, he said. We also drove a bus and went to the sanitarium regularly and read Scripture and prayed with the folks there. We were always studying or ministering or doing something. John R. Sampey was in the midst of his tenure as Southern Seminarys fth president during Coppengers years at the school. He recalls the presidents mode of dress during cold weather, a piece of clothing he wore reminiscent of a great Confederate Civil War general. Coppenger family photo: Jed, Raymond, and Mark He always wore a cape in the winter because Robert E. Lee wore a cape, he said. I can still picture him in it.

Southern Seminary receives $1 million endowed chair

As a congressman, Smith demonstrated Christian concern for the strength of American families by sponsoring the Family Protection Act. In 1985, President Ronald Reagan appointed Smith to the National Council on Aging, an appointment subsequently conrmed by the U.S. Senate. Smith, who died in 1997, served for many years as a deacon at First Baptist Church of Birmingham, Ala., and also served as chairman of the Baptist Joint Committee on Public Affairs of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). His wife, Eunie, who was present during the announcement of the endowed chair, serves on the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC) of the SBC. Albert Lee Smith Jr. left a lifetime legacy of Christian commitment as a husband and father, churchman, friend and national leader, Mohler said. He served as a role model and mentor for many demonstrating his skill as a leader in the ght for truth and the cause of Christ as a defender of the Christian faith. His legacy has been perpetuated in the lives of so many, and now in a very special way, everyone in this institution will be touched by his life. The Albert Lee Smith Jr. Chair of Christian Leadership is Southern Seminarys 18th endowed chair. By Jeff Robinson
alling it a hallmark in the history of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, President R. Albert Mohler Jr. announced Oct. 12 a fully-funded $1 million endowed professorship, named in honor of late Alabama Christian statesman Albert Lee Smith Jr. Mohler announced the creation of the Albert Lee Smith Jr. Chair of Christian Leadership during a chapel service that was part of Southern Seminarys annual Heritage Week, Oct. 10-14. Smith served Alabamas 6th District in the United States House of Representatives during the 96th session of Congress from 1981 to 1982. These endowed chairs are so very important to us because they really are the heart of the nancial security of this institution going forward, and they are also a way of honoring one who is rightly to be honored, Mohler said. The proceeds will help to fund the salary of a professor and the cost of providing instruction. This kind of investment helps keep tuition as low as possible. This is a down-payment on the future so that generations yet to come will have greater opportunities than what are represented by this institution even now.

Increasing enrollment leading Southern Seminary to explore expanded class hours, Mohler tells trustees
With increasing numbers come additional challenges to the seminarys infrastructure such as parking and classroom space, he said. Instead of investing large amounts of capital in new buildings and parking decks, Mohler said the seminarys growth will be handled through a more efcient use of its current campus. In the near future, some classes may be offered at 7 a.m. and others at night, Mohler said. Presently, the bulk of on-campus activity takes place between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m., leaving both classrooms and parking lots lled to capacity. One of the most popular times to take courses at Southern Seminary is on Monday and Tuesday nights, Mohler said. So there is a three-hour block [available] on those nights. We cant grow from about eight in the morning until two in the afternoon, [so] we have to grow at other times and here is the good news: given the nature of our society and the nature of the workplace and other issues, this is very possible. We will be looking at the data that need to be factored in to gure out where to put classes and when. In other business during the meeting: Mohler introduced trustees to Charles E. Lawless Jr., new dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth. Mohler appointed Lawless to succeed Thom Rainer, who is the president-elect of LifeWay Christian Resources. God called me to preach when I was 13 years old, Lawless told trustees. It was a huge struggle for me because I had wanted to teach since I had been ve years old, and I wrestled with that and struggled with that and battled with that and never dreamed God would allow me to do both preach His Word and teach His Word. Now I have the privilege of teaching His Word and teaching about evangelism and church growth every day and preaching His Word on Sundays, and I am living my dream in that sense. The board elected two professors to endowed chairs: Thomas R. Schreiner to the James Buchanan Harrison Chair of New Testament Interpretation and Mark A. Seifrid to the Mildred and Ernest Hogan Chair of New Testament Interpretation. By Jeff Robinson
o meet the demands of a steadily increasing student enrollment, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary may offer more classes during the early morning and evening, President R. Albert Mohler Jr. told the seminarys board of trustees Oct. 11 during its annual fall meeting. Southern welcomed 679 new students for the fall semester an 8.8 percent increase in enrollment bringing the seminarys on-campus student body to 2,314. Including its extension centers and Internet students, Southerns total fall enrollment stands at 3,138, Mohler said, and is expected to reach 4,000 by the end of the 2005-2006 academic year. This is the kind of problem that represents real health, Mohler said. When you are looking at how to make maximum use of your facility in order to make certain that you can serve the largest number of persons with the greatest degree of effectiveness, that is great. But the bottom line is that we have reached a point of saturation on the campus in terms of peak hours. Everything is lled to capacity. Classrooms, the cafeteria, you name it everything is just very, very full.

Rainer bids farewell to Southern Seminary
hom Rainer came to The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1994 as founding dean of the Billy Graham School of Missions, Evangelism and Church Growth, where he anticipated staying until his retirement.
Rainer recounted how as a student at Southern in the mid-1980s, he had questions about the truthfulness of the historic Christian faith. But through conversations with fellow students, Rainer rmed up his doctrinal convictions, and those convictions drove him to devote his life to reaching lost men and women with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, he said. For Christians to love their neighbors rightly and share the Gospel with them, they must believe in the inerrancy and authority of Gods Word, Rainer said. We cannot love others until we love God, and we cannot love God unless we believe His Word totally, completely, without error, he said. When believers have compassion and conviction simultaneously, a commitment to the Great Commission will follow, Rainer said. If we love the Lord, if we believe His Word, if we truly have a great compassion and a great conviction, we canSouthern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr. not help but speak about that which (right) presents Thom Rainer and his wife, Nellie we have seen and heard, he said.

Nettles book seeks to spur SBC reformation ahead

Is reformation in the Southern Baptist Convention complete? Though the denomination in the past 25 years has witnessed an Egypt to Canaan transformation with a full embrace of the inerrancy of Scripture, the author of a new book argues that the denomination must now build a doctrinal superstructure on the foundation of inerrancy. Baptist historian Tom Nettles, professor of historical theology at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, argues in Ready for Reformation? Bringing Authentic Reform to Southern Baptist Churches that the SBCs turnaround is, in many ways, just beginning. By Jeff Robinson

rman Simmons is in the business of bringing new life into the world physically and spiritually. As an obstetrician, he has delivered babies into the world for more than 30 years. As a Christian, he holds a commitment to lead men and women to spiritual life through the saving message of Jesus Christ. It is this commitment to guide people to faith in Jesus Christ that has led Simmons to give his prayer and his nancial resources to Southern Seminary. Simmons, who has served on the Southern Seminary Foundation board of directors since 2004, became involved with the seminary in 1993 when he was elected to serve as a trustee. Simmons was initially reluctant to serve but grew excited about Southern as he learned Southern Seminary President R. Albert Mohler Jr.s vision for returning the institution to its biblical roots. Its been one of the greater blessings in my life to get to know Dr. Mohler and see his vision for the seminary and then see the execution of the plans to realign the seminary with its original intent, he said. It just thrilled my soul and I was thrilled to be a part of it. From that perspective, I began to see the worthiness of the seminary for not only our prayer support but for the nancial support as well. One of Southerns most important ministries is training men to preach the Bible clearly and faithfully in local churches, Simmons said, noting that as men systematically preach through Gods Word, lives will be impacted. The greatest thing I see is a bringing back into sharp focus the training of men to do true biblical preaching where theyre doing true exegesis of the Scripture, he said. For our time, men need to be preaching through the Bible, through the books of the Bible rather than topical sermons. I think the seminary is teaching young men how best to do that. The same vision for changing lives that caused Simmons to give to Southern has also caused him to share the Gospel with patients in his medical practice. After becoming a Christian in 1972, Simmons and two other doctors opened a practice called Cornerstone Clinic where they pray with patients, uphold ethical medical standards and encourage women to nd alternatives to abortion.
Donating to Southern helps bring spiritual life into the world

My ministry is not just through the church, Simmons said. We have a Christian OBGYN practice where we try to offer not just medical help. We try also to incorporate into our practice practical ministry. In addition to his own practice, Simmons is involved in a ministry of the Arkansas Baptist Convention known as the Promise House. Located in Little Rock, the Promise House provides food, shelter, education, medical care and spiritual guidance to teenagers with unplanned pregnancies. We see young women who are being saved through this, Simmons said. Every mother that comes through that program represents a baby that has been saved from abortion. So we really feel blessed to be a part of that ministry. Recently, Simmons cared for one teenage mother who illustrates the power of ministry to pregnant youths. Coming out of an abusive background, the girl became pregnant by a man who used drugs and alcohol heavily. Upon her arrival at the Promise House, she received immediate medical care and spiritual counseling. As a result of the counseling, she committed her life to Jesus. Soon after committing her life to Jesus, an ultrasound revealed that the Orman and baby had a severe physical deformity. Marilyn Simmons When the woman gave birth, the babys physical problems increased and it died. But during the whole experience, Simmons watched the young womans newfound faith carry her through the trial. Seeing such faith makes all of Simmons efforts worth the work, he said. That young womans faith in the Lord that was so young just sprang into a ower, he said. I wept when I saw her in the ofce afterwards to see her come out of a situation then place her entire faith in the Lord for not only all that she had gone through, but her future. Just as Simmons leads people to faith through his medical practice, he hopes graduates of Southern Seminary will lead people to faith through their local church ministries. In hope of seeing many lives changed, he encourages others to support Southern through prayer and nancial donations. By David Roach

A Letter From Our President
Roll Call 2004

Gods blessing has been abundant throughout the 145-year history of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Over the past 14 plus decades God has used this institution to nourish his church for the spread of the Gospel, and in the service of faithful preachers and teachers of Gods Word. As we move ahead in the 21st century, the cause for which Southern Seminary was established is evermore important. Our churches are in desperate need of godly leadership and pastors of deep conviction. Southern Seminary is deadly serious about the task of preparing the next generation of Christian leaders to take their place in the elds of service in the United States and around the world. Southern Seminary is supported by faithful friends whose generous gifts make possible all that we do. This report is a catalog of faithfulness, as it records the investment Christian men and women have made in the life and work of this great institution. Therefore, this report is an expression of our thankfulness to those who have invested in Southern Seminary, and also a reminder of our indebtedness to God who has so greatly blessed Southern Seminary. Please know of my personal appreciation for you and all you do for this seminary. Without a doubt, Southern Seminary ranks as a leader in theological education. Our faculty is the envy of the evangelical world, and the impact of Southern Seminary is felt around the globe. You have helped to make this possible, and I want you to know that your investment in Southern Seminary is reaping rich rewards for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray Gods richest blessings upon you and all you do for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sincerely,
R. Albert Mohler, Jr.
