Contemporary Evangelical Thought Collection
Compiled and Edited by Carl F. H. Henry
We are pleased to offer the Contemporary
Evangelical Thought Collection, compiled
and edited by Carl F. H. Henry. Offered in
conjunction withDigital Publications®,
these epoch-making volumes speak to the forces
that threaten almost all the citadels of
Christianity. Nothing is so much needed as an
enduring perspective to correct and maintain the
focus and range of spiritual sights for a
confused, uncertain and apprehensive world. Just
now Christians and others are reappraising its
bias against traditional religion and the
implicit disdain for religious confessions.
While evangelical missions and evangelism
were tolerated in the twentieth century, the
terms "evangelical" and "evangelical thought"
were held in derision as anti-intellectualistic
shadow from the past. The evangelical movement
helped contribute to the decline and fall of the
liberal heritage. Its analysis of liberalism's
weakness, and its exhibition of biblical
Christianity's strength, hastened the dawning of
a new day.
On front after front the evangelical movement
had to contend against sub-Christian and
anti-Christian bias. Holding fast to the Gospel
proclamation, both on mission fields abroad and
in pulpits at home, evangelical Protestantism
sounded the only summons to Christ as the
Redeemer from sin.
This evangelical witness carried forward the
virile literary inheritance of a past which
reached back through the Reformation even to the
apostolic age. Evangelicals continued to
emphasize the inextricable relationship between
the fate of the Bible and the fate of
Christianity. Interestingly enough, even the
newer mediating theology of our day is returning
to this awareness.
Taking over a decade for their production,
the books of Henry's Contemporary
EvangelicalThought Series consist of six
volumes:
- Contemporary Evangelical Thought (1957)
- Revelation and the Bible (1958)
- Basic Christian Doctrines (1962)
- Christian Faith and Modern Theology
(1964)
- Jesus of Nazareth: Saviour and Lord
(1967)
- Fundamentals of the Faith (1969)
These volumes carry this series designation
by way of subtitle. Also available from Carl F.
H. Henry isTwilight of a Great Civilization
(1988).
