“One of the most significant leaders of evangelism.” Carl F. H. Henry “One of the most significant leaders of evangelism.”

Biography Carl F. H. Henry was born in 1913 to German immigrant parents. Henry was raised on Long Island. He had a passion and interest for journalism which led him to becoming an editor for a newspaper by the early age of 19. In his mid-twenties, he converted to Christianity and then received his bachelor’s (1938) and master’s (1940) degrees from Wheaton College. Shortly after receiving his master’s, he was ordained in 1941 in the Northern Baptist Convention. He taught theology and philosophy of religion from 1940 to 1947 at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary. Henry felt a call to further his academic career in the study of theology and in 1942 completed his first of two doctoral studies at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary. In 1947, he left Northern Baptist Theological Seminary to become the first professor of theology at the new Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. A second doctoral study was completed in 1949 at Boston University. He began a prolonged sabbatical leave from his teaching career in 1955.

Biography: Sabbatical Leave & Beyond In 1955, Henry began work with Billy Graham and L. Nelson Bell as the first editor of “Christianity Today.” He helped “Christianity Today” to become the “leading journalistic mouthpiece for neo- evangelicalism.” By 1968, the time away from his wife (Helga Bender Henry, author) and children (US Congressman, Paul B. Henry and Carol Henry Bates, PhD), as well as criticism from fundamentalists and conflicts with editorial issues, led him to resign and further his studies at Cambridge University for a year. From 1969-1974, Henry taught as a professor of theology at Eastern Baptist Seminary, which included a year as a visiting professor at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (1971). After leaving the seminary professor life, he spent his time lecturing many times for World Vision International and Prison Fellowship Ministries.

Carl F. H. Henry’s Legacy Carl Henry is known as “one of the most significant leaders of evangelicalism of the post-World War II era.” His book, The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism, “is often seen as a kind of “neo-evangelical manifesto” marking the nascent movement’s break with separatist fundamentalists.” Henry’s leadership in the academia realm of theology was significant throughout his many years as a professor. He focused much of his work on “the themes of biblical theism, objective revelation in propositional form, the authority and inerrancy of the Scriptures, and the rational apologetic defense of Christianity.”

For More Information… Carl F. H. Henry left behind an amazing legacy and there are a couple of evangelical institutions that continue his evangelical, Baptist-centered focus in today’s world. Below, you will find links to those websites: Carl F. H. Henry Institute for Evangelical Engagement http://www.henryinstitute.org/ Carl F. H. Henry Center for Theological Understanding http://henrycenter.tiu.edu/

The Legacy Lives On… Today, many people who belong to a Christian community are looking to redefine “evangelism” in our contemporary contexts. Though many would argue that the term “neo-evangelism” is one that only refers to a historical movement, the movement itself is vital to reforming evangelism in the emerging church communities and aligning it with traditional Protestant churches. Henry’s unapologetic leadership will be valuable to today’s evangelical leaders as they proceed in “ponder[ing] his contributions to such doctrines as propositional revelation, foundationalism, the kingdom of Christ, the public square, and the relationship between church and the culture”
