The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel (or the Dallas Statement) is an evangelical Christian statement of faith addressing the trend amongst some prominent evangelicals, to mix the Christian Gospel with the social gospel.[1][2][3][4] The Statement consists of affirmations and denials designed to clearly articulate the Gospel and differentiate it from the social gospel. The signatories claim that the rising social justice movement within American evangelicalism endangers Christians with "an onslaught of dangerous and false teachings that threaten the gospel, misrepresent Scripture, and lead people away from the grace of God in Jesus Christ."[5] Founding signatory John MacArthur, in describing why he decided this statement was necessary, noted, "Over the years, I’ve fought a number of polemical battles against ideas that threaten the gospel. This recent (and surprisingly sudden) detour in quest of 'social justice' is, I believe, the most subtle and dangerous threat so far."[6] HistoryThe Statement was drafted in the summer of 2018 in Dallas, Texas in direct response to the election of J. D. Greear as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, in their 2018 meeting in Dallas.{{Citation needed|date=January 2019}} The Statement was drafted by a group of evangelicals led by John MacArthur in response to how certain evangelicals have been accused of drifting away from the Christian Gospel towards the social gospel, the latter seen as a political philosophy produced by the Frankfurt School that is a conglomeration of Critical Race Theory, Cultural Marxism, Rauschenbuschism, and Intersectionality. This tendency was most associated with prominent evangelicals like Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, Matt Chandler, Michael Horton, Thom Rainer, Ed Stetzer, Beth Moore, and newly-elected Southern Baptist Convention president J. D. Greear.[7] CriticismA number of prominent evangelicals have critiqued the statement, seeing social justice as not contradictory to the Gospel. Tim Keller argues that the church's demonstration of social justice directs the world towards justification. Likewise, Francis Chan sees the redress of social ills as a means of proclaiming and living out the words of Jesus.[1] Other critiques have been levied against the lack of clarity in the Statement, especially on the definition of terms such as "social justice," "reconciliation," "intersectionality," or "critical race theory."[1][5] ContentsThe Statement includes an introduction and 14 articles.[2][3] The opening paragraph reads:[8]
Over the course of the 14 sections, the statement addresses cultural narratives "currently undermining Scripture in the areas of race and ethnicity, manhood and womanhood, and human sexuality" and argues that a secular threat is infiltrating the evangelical church.[5] See also{{Portal|Evangelical Christianity}}
