The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism

Carl Henry wrote from within conservative Protestantism, and the introduction is by Harold J. Ockenga, pastor of Park Street Church in Boston. The first chapter is headed “The Evaporation of Fundamentalist Humanitarianism”. The argument is that fundamentalism, in recoiling from a moralism cut loose from redemption, had stopped condemning the evils of society, and that the gospel it preached had shrunk from a message that changes the world to one that resists it.

The book states a programme; it is evidence for what Henry and those around him wanted, and not for how far fundamentalism in general matched his description. See Billy Graham and Postwar Evangelicalism.
