The more I read about this, the more nauseated I get. e-Church provides the following Associated Baptist Press Story about the firing of the Missions Professor I mentioned yesterday that I saw first via Tim at e-Church. I take it from the looks of the Associated Baptist Press Site that they are not well thought of by a certain number in SBC Leadership. They simply cover too many sides of an issue, and actually lift up the work being done by the CBF.
Tim also includes a list of links related to the issue in his post about it. Tim introduces the links:

From my reading of the articles mentioned in the Related Links, it seems to me that Mr. Harbin is a good professor who is operating (I hope) like most of the good professors in seminaries.
My favorite paragraph from Tim's post:
Mark Kelly's remarks seem to betray his belief that knowledge -- if not communicated 'just right' -- will destroy faith. Well, that seems to put an awful lot of power in the hands of humanity. It also seems to be deficient in attributing the proper power and authority to God. I say this in the light that Chris Harbin is not actually teaching heresy, but rather applying critical thinking to biblical study. In my opinion, Mr. Harin is appropriately preparing students to think in an increasingly hostile, postmodern world.
