About the Author

B. H. Carroll was a Baptist Pastor and Theologian. He taught theology and Bible in Baylor University from 1872 until 1905. In 1901 he was made dean of the Baylor Theological Department and then in 1905 he helped organized the Baylor Theological Seminary. The school separated from Baylor and moved to Fort Worth where in 1908 it was renamed Southwestern Theological Seminary with Carroll as its president, a post he kept until his death in 1914.

Carroll�s influence and writings are credited with helping to inspire the conservative resurgence of the Southern Baptist convention in the 1970s and 1980s. Many leaders of that movement such as Paige Patterson and W. A. Criswell credited Carroll and his books for contributing to their stance.

Carroll is also important to independent Baptist who look to his scholarship to undergird their interpretation of the church as being local and visible to the exclusion of the universal invisible view of the church. An idea that Carroll attributed to Pedobaptists as a pragmatic way of countering the Roman Catholic idea of the church as universal (catholic) and visible.
