Abstract

Among recent controversies surrounding the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination, have been statements on the role of women in society. With the 2004 election the SBC gained political influence due to its role in the re-election of President George W. Bush and ratification of 13 state constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. This study examines the portrayals of women by the SBC's Baptist Press during the six-month period surrounding the 2004 election in order to determine how this religiously and politically powerful group depicts women and their role in the family, church, and society.
