Frank Stagg, PhD, was a Southern Baptist
theologian, seminary professor, author, and pastor over a 50-year ministry career. He taught New Testament interpretation and Greek at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
from 1945 until 1964 and at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
in Louisville, Kentucky
from 1964 until 1978. His publications, recognitions and honors earned him distinction as one of the eminent theologians of the past century. When preaching or teaching, he read directly from the Greek New Testament, translating it into English as smoothly as if he were reading from an English translation. Other eminent theologians have honored him as a "Teaching Prophet."
. Although the family name comes from an English ancestor, the Stagg family was of French Catholic descent, commonly called Cajun
s. His grandfather and his uncle were the first of the Staggs to become Evangelical Christians. His uncle became a preacher who ministered in the native "Cajun" dialect. Frank was proud of his Louisiana French heritage and of his upbringing in the home of a Baptist deacon and Sunday School teacher.
In his junior year at Louisiana College
, Frank met the person who was to become such an integral part of his life and work, Evelyn Owen
from Ruston, Louisiana. They married in 1935 and raised three children—Ted, Bob and Ginger.

and aging. He also argued for the Bible's relevance. "The Bible is relevant," Stagg said. "We don't have to make it relevant." He said that the First Gulf War presented the ideal opportunity for Southern Baptists to "reassess and reject" the just war
doctrine and embrace pacifism
as the appropriate Christian response to all wars. He opposed Reformed points of doctrine such as predestination
and other Calvinist beliefs in Southern Baptist life.
