R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, will be the keynote speaker at the annual SBTC Cooperative Program Luncheon at noon Tuesday, Feb. 16 during the Empower Evangelism Conference at Arlington Convention Center.
Mohler has been recognized by such influential publications as Time and Christianity Today as a leader among American evangelicals. In fact, Time.com called him the “reigning intellectual of the evangelical movement in the U.S.” Called “an articulate voice for conservative Christianity at large” by The Chicago Tribune, Dr. Mohler’s mission is to address contemporary issues from a consistent and explicit Christian worldview.
A prolific writer, Mohler has also served as pastor and staff minister of several Southern Baptist churches. He came to the presidency of Southern Seminary from service as editor of The Christian Index in Georgia, the oldest of the state papers serving the Southern Baptist Convention.
A native of Lakeland, Fla., Mohler is a graduate of Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., and Southern Seminary and has done additional study at the St. Meinrad School of Theology and Oxford University (England).
Dr. Mohler also serves as the Joseph Emerson Brown Professor of Christian Theology at Southern Seminary. His writings have been published throughout the United States and Europe. In addition to contributing to a number of collected volumes, he is the author of several books, including “Culture Shift: Engaging Current Issues with Timeless Truth” (Multnomah), “Desire & Deceit: The Real Cost of the New Sexual Tolerance” (Multnomah), “Atheism Remix: A Christian Confronts the New Atheists” (Crossway), “He Is Not Silent: Preaching in a Postmodern World” (Moody), and, most recently, “The Disappearance of God: Dangerous Beliefs in the New Spiritual Openness” (Multnomah). From 1985 to 1993, he served as associate editor of Preaching, a journal for evangelical preachers, and is currently editor-in-chief of The Southern Baptist Journal of Theology.
A leader within the Southern Baptist Convention, Mohler has served as chairman of the SBC Committee on Resolutions and served on the seven-person Program and Structure Study Committee that recommended the 1995 SBC restructuring as well as the committee that recommended revisions to the Baptist Faith and Message in 2000. In addition, he is a member of the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force.
