Carl F. H. Henry
From Theopedia
Carl F. H. Henry (1913-2003) was a Christian theologian and co-founder of Fuller Theological Seminary in 1947. He was also the founder of the magazine Christianity Today in 1956, and is regarded by many as the father of neo-evangelicalism. Receiving both bachelors and masters degrees from Wheaton College, he then earned a Doctor of Theology degree from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary and finally a PhD from Boston University in 1949.
In The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism (1947), Carl Henry deals with Fundamentalism as an "object of surgery" and suggests a direction where new-evangelicalism should go.
In 1978 he published The Christian Mindset In a Secular Society and signed the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, which affirmed the inerrancy of the Bible.
His magnum opus is his six-volume God, Revelation, and Authority (completed in 1983), which has perhaps the fullest exposition of the doctrine of biblical inerrancy.
