    Issue 92: America’s 20th Century Evangelical Awakening A New Evangelical Awakening: Did You Know? Interesting and Little Known Facts about America's Mid Century Evangelical Resurgence "Mr. Evangelical" One of the most important 20th-century shapers of modern evangelicalism was a man whose name is unknown to most evangelicals today: Harold John Ockenga (AH-ken-gay). During his lifetime Ockenga served as founder and first president of the National Association of Evangelicals; president of the American Board of the World Evangelical Fellowship; president, co—founder, and later Chairman of the Board of Fuller Theological Seminary; Chairman of the Board of CHRISTIANITY TODAY magazine; a member of the board of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association; pastor of historic Park Street Church in Boston for more than three decades; and the founding president of Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. His remarkable oratorical skills and visionary speeches made him evangelicalism's most trusted voice for decades. Billy Graham, whose fame has now eclipsed his mentor, claimed that he never made a major decision in his life without first consulting Ockenga. [See America's Hour Has Struck for more about Ockenga.] —contributed by Garth Rosell Election redirection The New Evangelicals were determined to infuse the public square—including the political arena‐ with the truths of Christianity. In the midst of the 1952 presidential campaign, a group of Christians led by former Youth for Christ president Torrey Johnson held their own "campaign" on the heels of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in an attempt to spark discussion of spiritual issues. "We feel the time has come when the entire nation should pray for guidance in the coming elections," Johnson said.

  • Biblical Inerrancy
    MODERNISM – FUNDAMENTALISM – NEW EVANGELICALISM AND BIBLICAL INERRANCY The purpose of this paper is to give a partial history of the age-old battle for the Bible. My prayer is that we settle two major truths in our hearts and minds: the sufficiency of God’s Word, and the sufficiency of the Holy Spirit to empower all who share belief in the verbal inspiration, infallibility, and inerrancy of God’s Word. The word inerrancy is used repeatedly in this paper for clarity. The word infallibility is used by some to define limited inerrancy. Dr. Harold Lindsell's book, "The Battle for the Bible," holds to this strong view of Biblical inerrancy as the watershed issue in the evangelical world. Throughout the history of mankind, we have had two major lines of development. One has followed man’s way in what we might call the wisdom of this world or the way of the natural man. The other major line of development is God’s way, which follows after the revealed wisdom of God’s inerrant Word, and this is the way of the spiritual man. THE BEGINNINGS OF THEOLOGICAL MODERNISM Theological modernism (or liberalism) had its origin in Europe, particularly in Germany, in the 19th century and was merely the rationalistic thinking of that time applied to the Bible. It was the dawn of the scientific era. Many men felt they were on the verge of discovering the secrets of the universe and solving the problems of mankind. Anti-Christian thinkers such as Darwin, Hegel, and Marx led the movement to dethrone God and replace Him with scientific humanism.

  • The SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY of the CHURCH 13
    THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHURCH PAUL BENWARE Instructor in Bible Los Angeles Baptist College No responsible believer in Jesus Christ is happy about the pre­ sence of such social evils as raCial hatred, a spiraling crime rate, the liquor and drug traffic, slums and violence. He realizes that such con­ ditions as these have the potential to destroy his society and therefore ought to be checked. But the problem facing the Christian and the church is their role in curing the ills of society. What is the church's re­ sponsibility in the area of social problems? Should the church involve itself in these problems? If so, to what extent? These questions are not easily answered and debate goes on within the church. Hudson Armerding has stated the problem revealing the issue involved: "How may the secular world be confronted, without the probability of an ac­ commodation that eventually will produce capitulation?"l Neo-evangelicalism has declared that the church must get involved in the problems of society or lose its voice and impact in that society. It states that Fundamentalists have overreacted against the social gos­ pel of the old modernist, thus terribly neglecting the social area. 2 Fundamentalism, on the other hand, warns Neo-evangelicalism that it is taking a dangerous step, which likely will lead to the watering down of the complete message of the Bible, and to the further seculari­ zation of the church. The Fundamentalist believes that the church is to catch fish out of the pond of sin, while the Neo-evangelical feels that something must be done to clean up the pond as well.
