The Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association was formed in August of 1766, accepting its articles of faith and holding its first session at what was then Ketocton Church in Loudoun County, Virginia. At that time the association was comprised of four churches including Ketocton Church, Mill Creek in Berkley County, Virginia, Smith’s Creek in Shenandoah County, Virginia, and Broad Run in Fauquier County, Virginia, all of which had previously been a part of the Philadelphia Association. The association grew to include churches from the Virginia, Maryland, and Washington D.C. regions and frequently corresponded with churches in North Carolina and Georgia. Through the years, and with new church formations and growth, churches moved in and out of the association. Early on, the Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association was known as the Ketockton Baptist Association and later addressed themselves as the Ketocton Association of Primitive Baptists, the Ketocton Old School Baptists, or Ketocton Primitive or Old School Baptists. The Ketockton Primitive Baptist Association at one point noted itself to be the second oldest Primitive Baptist association.

Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church was founded on October 28, 1899, and located in Martinsville, Virginia. Several names are used throughout the records books including Primitive Baptist Church at Martinsville, Martinsville Primitive Baptist Church, the Church Street Primitive Baptist Church Martinsville, Virginia, and Chatham Heights Primitive Baptist Church. Reference is made to the church meeting at a new location in Chatham Heights in 1963 which may explain some name variation. The church typically met monthly during which time minutes were recorded in the church record books.

R. Logan Carson was Senior Professor of Christian Theology. Carson begins his sermon by telling a few funny stories about being a professor at Southeastern, and he gives a word of prayer (00:00-04:23). He walks through Matthew 27:11-26, and he speaks on how much of society has responded to Pilate’s question, “What should I do then with Jesus?” (04:24-15:12). He then reads verses 27-31, and he condemns those who step on Jesus and do not give him reverence (15:13-18:08). He tells a personal story of his calling to the service of ministry, and he says that the answer to Pilate’s question is to serve Jesus (18:09-26:49). Carson ends his sermon by speaking on the day of the resurrection when all God’s children will look upon Jesus (26:50-30:01).
R. Logan Carson was Senior Professor of Christian Theology. Carson begins his lecture by giving it the title “Forever Blowing Bubbles: A Look at Life Under the Sun” (00:00-01:04). He gives an overview of Ecclesiastes and its background (01:05-03:30). He states that Ecclesiastes has wisdom as its main theme, but the wisdom of Ecclesiastes challenges the wisdom spoken of in other books of Scripture, specifically Proverbs (03:31-13:46). He then moves to speak on the topic of Ecclesiastes’ authorship, and he argues against the idea that the book was inspired by Greek philosophy (13:47-27:40). Carson finally examines the theology of Ecclesiastes, and the audio ends with him explaining the books final point that death awaits all (27:41-43:29).
The Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Catalogs are published by Southeastern Seminary to provide information for each academic year. The earliest catalog was published in 1951. Catalogs were sometimes published in connection to the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Bulletin and most contain information for one academic year, though some cover multiple years. The catalogs provide an academic calendar and a brief introduction to the seminary, its facilities, and the community. Further information includes curriculum and class offerings, details regarding admissions, and registers of students, faculty, staff, trustees, and graduates. Subcollections for the 1990s and 2000s include CASE catalogs for the college.
