    About this ebook

    Once upon a time, evangelicalism was a countercultural upstart movement. Positioned in between mainline denominational liberalism and reactionary fundamentalism, evangelicals saw themselves as evangelists to all of culture. Billy Graham was reaching the masses with his Crusades, Francis Schaeffer was reaching artists and university students at L’Abri, Larry Norman was recording Jesus music on secular record labels and touring with Janis Joplin and the Doors, and Carl F. H. Henry was reaching the intellectuals through Christianity Today. It was the dawn of “classic evangelicalism.” Surveying the current evangelical landscape, however, one gets the feeling that we’re backpedaling quickly. We are more theologically diffuse, culturally gun-shy, and fragmented than ever before. What has happened? And how do we find our way back? Using the life and work of Carl F. H. Henry as a key to evangelicalism’s past and a cipher for its future, this book provides crucial insights for a renewed vision of the church’s place in modern society and charts a refreshing course toward unity under the banner of “classic evangelicalism.”

      It's an excellent piece. As a minister, I think Christian leaders need to weigh the implications of what Thornbury and his colleagues (e.g. Moore, Mohler) are proposing that seems to extend beyond just cultural engagement—they want to shape culture by political and social means—but at what cost and what end? Is their evangelical thrust the solution to reclaiming America for God? As a nondenominational conservative who is often lumped into the evangelical category (perhaps imprecisely), I am skeptical of their top-down approach, but I am simultaneously intrigued by the premise and their attempts. It is certainly something to think and pray on.
