ABSTRACT In 1885 John Clifford published a sermon contending Abraham misunderstood God in Genesis 22 concerning sacrificing Isaac. Clifford insisted God would not command something against his own law and only expected Abraham to renounce parental rights and consecrate Isaac to God, not sacrifice him as a burnt offering. The sermon resulted in a controversy with other ministers. Examination of rabbinic writings, etymology, the western philosophical tradition, and the views of other ministers shows little support for and considerable opposition to Clifford’s contention. His viewpoint in 1885 was expanded in 1892 when he published a book on biblical inspiration. The controversy was later echoed in similar divisive battles in the Southern Baptist Convention when a 1970 controversy echoed Clifford’s interpretation. His response to the Genesis 22 controversy and his later opinions on biblical inspiration marked Clifford as the outspoken leader of progressives in the Baptist Union.

ABSTRACT John Chilembwe (ca. 1871–1915) is best known for his part in a brief uprising in 1915 against oppression by colonial authorities and white settlers in what was then Nyasaland – now Malawi. This article covers that episode, but gives attention in particular to Chilembwe’s Christian nurture and introduction to Baptist life through an independent-minded Baptist, Joseph Booth. It was his work with Booth that led to his going to the United States to train as a Baptist minister. He was supported by the African American National Baptist Convention. The article traces the way in which Chilembwe built up a significant Baptist church in Nyasaland, an aspect of his life that has received much less attention. The church was the first African-initiated congregation in the region. The pictured offered here is of Chilembwe as a dedicated and effective pastor and one whose protests, which led to his death, came out of his spiritual convictions.
