I said he was my evangelical hero and that he left a legacy that is lasting. <BR/><BR/>The substance of that legacy is that he planted the seeds of greater evangelical engagement with the culture, particularly intellectually. He also helped promote the academic side of evangelicalism. Without Carl F. H.

He was, in my judgment, an average theologian who contributed no new insights or useful arguments. He was a nice man, and a towering and pivotal figure in the history of evangelicalism. But he was not a great theologian.<BR/><BR/>I think that the real genius from that era and generation was Edward John Carnell. <BR/><BR/>FJBFrancis Beckwithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765632359220115150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1133974639547708952005-12-07T11:57:00.000-05:002005-12-07T11:57:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Francis Beckwithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03765632359220115150noreply@blogger.com
