Carl F. H. Henry
Carl F. H. Henry (1913-2003) was a Christian theologian and the
first Dean 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.
