ABSTRACT All Truth Is God's Truth: the Life and Ideas of Frank E
ABSTRACT All Truth is God’s Truth: The Life and Ideas of Frank E. Gaebelein Albert R. Beck, Ph.D. Mentor: Barry G. Hankins, Ph.D. Frank Gaebelein (1899-1983) was a key figure in the twentieth-century evangelical movement. His greatest impact was felt in the area of Christian education, but he was active in many other issues of concern to evangelicals, particularly matters of social justice and the arts. “Truth” was the animating concept behind Gaebelein’s work; his goal was to attempt to connect whatever subject he addressed with a biblical concept of the truth. Gaebelein’s life paralleled and helped define the transition of fundamentalism to evangelicalism. The son of a noted fundamentalist, his early years centered around his work at The Stony Brook School, an evangelical boarding school on Long Island, New York. It was here that Gaebelein developed his ideas on the philosophy of Christian education. “The integration of faith and learning” under the pattern of God’s overarching truth was the defining characteristic of his writing and practice in education. In his later years, Gaebelein devoted attention to matters of social justice and the arts. He was a theological conservative, but Gaebelein also believed that evangelical 1 orthodoxy led him to take more moderate stances on social and cultural issues. He was a supporter of racial integration and an advocate for simple living, and he insisted that evangelicals had to engage the arts if they were to have lasting social impact. Gaebelein believed that all truth was God’s truth, and it was the duty of the Christian to relate every personal and corporate action to truth rooted in God. -

The Martin Barnhouse Cobferences
THE BEGINNING OF THE END: DH:101 The Martin-Barnhouse “Evangelical Conferences” and their aftermath To faithful Seventh-day Adventists back in the mid-fifties it was a fearful doctrinal crisis in our Church. But to the believers in our day it is now seen to have marked the beginning of the end. For the errors that the so-called “Evangelical Conferences" brought into our denomination grew throughout the sixties and seventies and were used by modernists in our Church, such as Desmond Ford, to lay a solid foundation for what is now called the "new theology." There would be no "new theology" in our Church today if certain of our leaders had not welcomed its theological roots back in the mid-fifties. At that time, certain Evangelical Protestants asked a small group of our leaders to reconsider the stated doctrinal beliefs of our denominationand, if possible, to restate them in "theological terms" that would be acceptable to the Protestant world around us. This seemed but a small concession in view of the golden opportunity held out before us: unity and fellowship with the other Protestant Churches. There is wisdom in many counselors. And if many counselors had been consulted, they would have pointed out that unity and fellowship with the other Protestant Churches is not one of the objectives of the Second Angel's message of Revelation 14:8, much less that of the Third Angel which follows it. "Babylon is fallen" and "Come out of her, My people" is the call; not "Go in and have doctrinal unity with her." (Revelation 14:8 with 18:1-5, and Great Controversy, 603- 4, 390) But many in our time do not realize how firmly the error was placed in the foundations of the Church back in the mid-fifties.
