At the watershed Southern Baptist Convention of 1979, moderate forces fell before the powerful oratory of the ultra-conservative faction, which has remained in power ever since. Communication professors Carl L. Kell and L. Raymond Camp investigate the rhetorical shift from moderate to ultra-conservative in the post-1979 Southern Baptist Convention, the largest denomination in the South and the largest Protestant denomination in the United States. In the Name of the Father will appeal to those interested in rhetoric, religion, and contemporary Southern culture, especially the recent Disney boycott decision, the exclusion of women from the pulpit and denominational leadership positions, decisions affecting gays and lesbians, and the rhetoric of negativism towards liberals.
