Television
Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) In Television: Servant or Master?, Carnell develops a balanced approach to this rambunctious new medium of communication. Among his conclusions is the refreshing recognition that the rigid fundamentalist stand against Hollywood moving pictures has suddenly been rendered defunct. Arguing convincingly that all of life is mixture, that nothing natural or human is either wholly good or wholly bad, he stresses that television's future will depend on how human beings sort out its peril and potential. At a time when the wildly popular new medium of television was just beginning to saturate the country, evangelicalism's leading philosopher-theologian of the 1950s and 1960's gave Americans some badly needed biblical and scholarly perspective. --Rudolph Nelson, author of The Making and Unmaking of an Evangelical Mind: The Case of Edward Carnell
Christian Commitment
Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) Rather than mounting a rational proof for God's existence, the author advocates here a "spiritual approach to God." This calls for an exercise not only of one's rational faculties, but also of the spiritual. The four parts of this book, originally published in 1957, treat the development and application of "knowledge by moral acceptance," the process of becoming acquainted with the person of God, and concluding inferences and problems.

The Theology of Reinhold Niebuhr
""Here is a clear presentation of the salient features of Niebuhr's thought and, at the same time, a very acute appraisal of it from the standpoint of early Reformation theology. . . . This book is written by a disciplined mind. Its thought is sharp and clear. It offers the reader an adequate summary, and a very cogent criticism of an influential, contemporary school of theology. A wide audience could profit from its reading."" --John Wild, former Professor of Philosophy, Harvard Divinity School and Northwestern University ""Edward John Carnell was--in my estimation--the brightest and the best of the neo-evangelical leaders. He was a courageous thinker who was not afraid to think new thought...
The Burden of Soren Kierkegaard
Although the wide influence of Soren Kirkegaard's writings upon modern Christian thought is now generally recognized, the insights of the Danish knight of faith have often been misread and misinterpreted by those who seek to canonize their own theologies by appealing to Kierkegaard. The fact that modern Christian thought owes much to Kierkegaard does not mean that modern Christian thought speaks fo Kierkegaard at all points. In this short study, Carnell has allowed Kierkegaard to speak for himself, thus providing a valuable glimpse into the thought of the great Danish philosopher-theologian. Restricting the number of critical comments (including a short closing chapter entitled Yes and No), ...
Ethics in the Thought of Edward John Carnell
An ethical analysis of the moral writings of the late Edward John Carnell, former president and professor of ethics and philosophy of religion at Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Carnell is viewed as one of a handful of mid-twentieth century evangelicals who sparked a renaissance of the evangelical concern for both individual salvation and the social order which typified many of the nineteenth century American revivalists. Carnell synthesized nineteenth century American revivalism, Kierkegaardianism and Niebuhrianism, while holding to the ethical authority of the Bible and the life of Jesus Christ.
The Kingdom of Love and the Pride of Life
Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) The Kingdom of Love and the Pride of Life is indeed about love. Carnell evidences deep insight into what love is and what it is not. He richly develops Jesus's statement, "Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." He affirms that happy children have intuitive knowledge of the nature of love, which is kindness and truth. They have a God-given ability to see through hypocrisy and recognize the good person. This book is an invaluable exposition of the biblical doctrine of love.
A Philosophy of the Christian Religion
Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) A Philosophy of the Christian Religion is not a defense of the Christian faith in the conventional sense. The gamut of contending values and the systems of thought preoccupying the contemporary mind are analyzed here with admirable comprehension and lucidity. These competing philosophies are severally evaluated by the whole perspective of the Christian system and demonstrated as partial, here-and-now values, incapable of satisfying the demands of the whole man. "Christianity is a coherent religion. It never asks the heart to trust values which the reason is obliged to discard as contradictory. No value commitment is completely satisfying until the complete man is satisfied." --from the preface
The Remaking of Evangelical Theology
In this in-depth historical analysis of evangelical theology, Gary Dorrien describes how evangelicalism has developed and matured. Beginning at the turn of the century and the start of the fundamentalist-modernist controversies, he notes the key figures and institutions of the evangelical movement. He also shows how evangelicalism has both diversified and entered into the broader theological discussions of today.
The Presbyterian Philosopher
This is the story of Gordon Clark (1902-85), respected philosopher and prolific writer, who held that Christianity, as a logically coherent system, is superior to all other philosophies. Clark fought no wars and conquered no kingdoms. Yet he was a leading figure in many theological wars fought for the Kingdom of God. These battles for the minds and souls of men were every bit as crucial as physical wars between nations. In an age of increasing secularization, he put up an intellectual defense of the Christian faith. This faith, he believed, was a system. All of its parts link together, a luxury of no other philosophy. His stance shows a Christianity that is in fact intellectual, not relying ...
