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:<\/p>\n

The Course of Neo-Evangelicalism<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Sellout of schools: Fuller Theological Seminary and Wheaton College [as examples]<\/li>\n
  2. Emergence of honoured leaders:
    Harold Ockenga
    Carl Henry
    Edward Carnell
    Donald Ray Barnhouse
    Vernon Grounds
    Bernard Ramm
    Alan Redpath<\/li>\n
  3. Emergence of Propaganda Vehicles
    Christianity Today <\/em>(an answer to the liberal Christian Century<\/em>)
    Christian Life
    Eternity<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    The next section is entitled<\/p>\n

    The Consequences of Neo-Evangelicalism<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Wresting of Scripture to fit practice<\/li>\n
    2. The loss of the testimony of separation producing impotence and confusion [see my quote from R. Laird Harris in my previous post]<\/li>\n
    3. The lending of Christian prestige to infidelity<\/li>\n
    4. The realization of change in the eyes of the liberals<\/li>\n
    5. The establishment of strange alliances<\/li>\n
    6. Demand for clear identification by all fundamentalists of where they stand<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      That last point is the fallout among fundamentalists – are you with us or agin us. Clarity was essential, and fundamentalists demanded clarity.<\/p>\n

      I have a bit more of these notes to come.<\/p>\n
