Carl F.H. Henry

Originally published in 1947, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism has since served as the manifesto of evangelical Christians serious about bringing the fundamentals of the Christian faith to bear in contemporary culture. In this classic book Carl F. H. Henry, the father of modern fundamentalism, pioneered a path for active Christian engagement with the world -- a path as relevant today as when it was first staked out.Now available again and featuring a new foreword by Richard J. Mouw, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism offers a bracing world-and-life view that calls for boldness on the part of the evangelical community. Henry argues that a reformation is imperative within the ranks of conservative Christianity, one that will result in an ecumenical passion for souls and in the power to meaningfully address the social and intellectual needs of the world.

A monumental six-volume set that presents an undeniable case for the revealed authority of God to a generation that has forgotten who he is and what he has done.

"A half-generation ago the pagans were still largely threatening at the gates of Western culture; now the barbarians are plunging into the... mainstream. As they seek to reverse the inherited intellectual and moral heritage of the Bible,... [we are] engaged as never before in a rival conflict for the mind, the conscience, the will, the spirit, the very selfhood of contemporary man." --Carl F. H. Henry Twilight of a Great Civilization is a penetrating critique, by a distinguished Christian leader, of the moral and intellectual disintegration sweeping our culture. But more than this, it is a book of promise and possibilities--a ringing affirmation of the power of the gospel to transform hearts and minds, and to leave a lasting impact upon our age. As one of the noted Christian thinkers of this century, Carl F. H. Henry provides a perceptive diagnosis of America's spiritual malaise. From the decline in moral integrity, to "Christian Fundraising Heresies"; from the abandonment of rigorous education and clear thinking, to the affirmation of idealistic illusions in social and political matters--Henry shows how the wider culture, and many within Christian circles, have accommodated to the Spirit of the Age. But beyond the careful diagnosis lies Henry's prescription and vision for Jesus Christ the Lord is coming! He has won the ultimate victory over sin and death; and He will come again in power and glory to reign forevermore. Therefore, the church of Jesus Christ is alive!--and by the power of the Spirit is called to "march and sing our faith in the public arena, in the streets,... on the mass media," and in the marketplace of ideas. Henry provides here an invaluable resource to all who long for the light of Christ to shine with brilliance in "the twilight of a great civilization." "The American Century is over; the world order is changing. But America's eclipse is not inevitable. In a country where people can choose... , the future... is a matter of choice." -- Newsweek Magazine "To the world we seem like Hogan's Army waiting for Godot. Can we take a holy initiative in history? Can we once more strike an apostolic stride? Can we put an ungodly world on the defensive again? Can we show men the folly of opposing Him who has already overcome the world, of rejecting fellowship with the coming King? Will we offer civilization a realistic option, or only a warning of impending doom? Will Christianity speak only to man's fears and frustrations, or will it also fill the vacuums in his heart and crown his longings for life at its best?" --Carl F. H. Henry

Book by Henry, Carl Ferdinand Howard

Discover the ongoing relevance of the essential evangelical.In recent years, the label "evangelical" has been distorted and its usefulness questioned. No one is better equipped to provide a clear understanding of evangelicalism than the late Carl F. H. Henry, the founding editor of Christianity Today and the most influential theologian of American evangelicalism in the twentieth century. While Billy Graham was preaching the gospel to stadiums full of people, Henry was working tirelessly to help Christians adopt a worldview that encompasses all of life. Architect of Evangelicalism helps us gain a better sense of the roots of American evangelicalism by giving us the best of Henry's Christianity Today essays on subjects such as what defines evangelicalism, what separates it from theological liberalism, what evangelical Christian education should look like, and how evangelicals should engage with society.

In 1996, Dr. Carl F. H. Henry knew where we as a civilization were going as a culture. Were he alive today, Henry would have been agitated, none- theless unfazed by the Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage. Growing acceptance of euthanasia, for example, would only be the logical con- clusion of the abortion worldview that preceded it. He did not so much prophesy the particularities of a culture unmoored from Christianity, as much as he saw it as an eventuality deduced from secular principles. He saw a democratic experiment cutting itself off from its roots and in doing so, inviting upon itself any number of moral revolutions. That’s the main argument of Has Democracy Had Its Day?

"One high price of evangelical isolation is that the high claim of God is insulated from the social structures of our day. No longer does the revelation of God challenge these social structures, and they do not dispute and contradict it, because they exist indifferently to it and can even ignore it."With this challenge to the uneasy conscience of the conservative, Dr. Henry dissects both the hard-nosed separatist fundamentalist and the fuzzy-thinking modernist.Working from the platform of a sound Biblical theology, this foremost evangelical theologian moves his reader from an understanding of the work of God - who, contrary to "being dead" is constantly at work, both through the believer and the nonbeliever - to the place where the committed Christian must be if he is to mature to his fullest and continue in his place in God's will.

Carl Henry was professor of theology at Fuller Theological Seminary and Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and visiting professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinty School. He is well known as the developer and first editor of Christianity Today. (1990)

Over the past fifty years, the vacuum created by the retreat from Biblical Christianity has been swiftly filled by naturalism, relativism, subjectivism, and cultic religions. Dr. Carl Henry's call for evangelistic engagement and cultural participation strikes a note that offers fresh hope in a time of intense spiritual challenge. From the founding editor of Christianity Today.

Essays on the nature and reliability of the Bible

A history of the evangelistic work of The Pacific Garden Mission, founded in 1877 in Chicago. More of a hagiography than a scholarly history.

This critique is designed to focus attention on frontiers of theological concern from an evangelical perspective and to prod American evangelicals to interact with the pressing problems of Protestant thought in our time.The author considers basic issues in contemporary theology, such as the place of revelation in history and as truth. He appraises the work of Bultmann, Barth, Brunner, Cullmann, and others. He discusses the directions theology is taking both in Europe and in America, predicting future trends.This analysis poses and answers questions like these: Why was the theology of Karl Barth unable to stem the tide of Rudolf Bultmann's theories? If the Bible no longer ranks as an unqualified norm in European theology, what has replaced it? Can the ecumenical movement that advances organizationally through inclusivism become theologically exclusive? Are theologians using ambiguity to conceal their insecurity? Here is penetrating evaluation to provide understanding of the current scene.
