Edward John Carnel (1919 - 1967), philosopher - theologian and president of the Fuller Theological Seminary, played a singularly influential role in the emergence of mid-twentieth centruy Protestant evangelicalism out of the anti-modernist fundamentalism that had developed early in the century. Carnell was brouth up in the fundamentalist tradition, but he moved increasingly away from its hard line in his writing and teaching to an evangelical stance he deemed a more cogent response to the threat of modernism. Though his significance to the promotion of evangelicalism was widely acknowledged both within and outside the evangelical tradition, he paid a server price for this recognition - overtly as the object of harsh criticism from right-wing opponents and internally as the victim of a psychological breakdown. His controversial life and his death - du to barbiturate overdose - provide in this sensitive and penetrating account a compelling portait of the strengths and weaknesses of the evangelical movement he represented.
The first half of the book takes a biographical approach to its subject, while the second half of the book looks topically at the issues that shaped Carnell's career and, as the author proposes, may have led to his psychological undoing. Through the lens of Carnell's personal struggle, this book offers a provocative view into the larger cultural tensions, unleashed by new modes of secular thouht, that challenged the framework of American religious life during the middle years of this century. |
