What Are Evangelicalism's Roots | Carl Henry & Kenneth Kantzer (2 of 4)

Lecture title: Know Your Roots: Evangelicals Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow Carl Henry defines American Christianity, or neo-evangelicalism against the historical backdrop of Modernism and orthodox Christianity’s slide from cultural credibility. Henry emphasizes Liberalism’s and Neo-Orthodoxy’s failure not only to give a credible account of Christianity in the face of the Modern world, but also its inability to maintain its Christian bearings. In contrast, Evangelicalism arose in the twentieth century as a credible intellectual account to the enduring truth of biblical Christianity. Carl Ferdinand Howard Henry (1913-2003) was an American evangelical Christian theologian who provided intellectual and institutional leadership to the neo-evangelical movement in the mid-to-late 20th century. His early book, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism (Eerdmans, 1947), was influential in calling evangelicals to differentiate themselves from separatist fundamentalism and claim a role in influencing the wider American culture. Kenneth S. Kantzer (1917-2002) was an American theologian and educator in the evangelical Christian tradition. He was Professor of Biblical and Systematic Theology and Academic Dean of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School from 1960 to 1978 where he helped to grow TEDS from a small denominational seminary to a major evangelical Christian graduate school with a national and international reputation. The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues—for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word—lay persons and scholars alike—for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
