The Man Who Birthed Evangelicalism

One hundred years after his birth and a decade after his death, is it time to revisit Carl F.H. Henry? For many, the first question very well may be "Carl who?"

The answer is, the Carl Henry who invented post-World War II evangelicalism, the evangelicalism we are still in large measure living with today. If you want to understand the core passions of contemporary evangelicalism, you have to understand the passions of Carl Henry.

Henry did not invent post-war evangelicalism all by himself, of course. He had lots of help from Harold John Ockenga, the Strategist; Billy Graham, the Evangelist; Bill Bright, the Activist; Francis Schaeffer, the Apologist; and many others. But it was Henry more than anyone else who argued the case and set forth a compelling intellectual apologetic for what was called in those days the New Evangelicalism. ...

Hmm, first comes to mind is Jesus,

Matthew 28
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." ---NASB

and then the apostle Paul,

Acts 22
21 "And He said to me, 'Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"---NASB

It seems to me there were missionary boards in the U.S. before this fellow happen by. In fact it seems like some of his fellow associates were a very mixed bag indeed when it came to true Christianity, when it came to post WWII evangelism, e.g., Billy Graham Believes Catholic Doctrine of Salvation Without Bible, Gospel, or Name of Christ
