View source for Downgrade Controversy

The '''Downgrade Controversy''' was a theological dispute in the late 19th century involving [[Charles Spurgeon]] and the [[Baptist Union of Great Britain]]. It centered on concerns about the decline of doctrinal orthodoxy among Baptists, particularly regarding the authority of [[Scripture]], the deity of [[Jesus Christ]], and the reality of sin and atonement.

On March 1887, Spurgeon published in his monthly magazine, ''[[The Sword and the Trowel]]'', an article entitled ''"The Down Grade"''.
