We are pleased to offer the Contemporary
Evangelical Thought Collection, compiled and
edited by Carl F. H. Henry. Offered in conjunction
with Digital 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 Evangelical
Thought 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 is
Twilight of a Great Civilization (1988).
