Tom Nettles (b. 1946) - Reformed evangelical church history professor. By seeking to articulate precise doctrinal definitions and cogent biblical and logical arguments, Nettles has sparked revivals of Calvinism at three of the SBC's six seminaries, including Southern Seminary where he now teaches. He is also a leading figure in the Founders Conference, advocating a return to theological depth in preaching and religious education through the use of catechisms. With Russ Bush he co-wrote Baptists and the Bible, which helped the conservative resurgence. Other titles: By His Grace and For His Glory; A Foundation for the Future; Teaching Truth and Training Hearts; Why I Am a Baptist (Ed. w/ Russ Moore).
