I’ve been blogging my old Church History class notes [minus the doodles] for a little while now. The next two sections concern new evangelicalism:
The Course of Neo-Evangelicalism
- Sellout of schools: Fuller Theological Seminary and Wheaton College [as examples]
- Emergence of honoured leaders:
Harold Ockenga
Carl Henry
Edward Carnell
Donald Ray Barnhouse
Vernon Grounds
Bernard Ramm
Alan Redpath - Emergence of Propaganda Vehicles
Christianity Today (an answer to the liberal Christian Century)
Christian Life
Eternity
As I think about this section, I must not have fully understood the lecture, or else ‘sellout’ is my term. Fuller was created for the purpose of advancing the neo-evangelical cause. It has always been committed to a course of compromise, whereas Wheaton turned away from a more militant beginning to the position it holds today.
