We are pleased to offer the Essential Topics of the Christian Faith, featuring the Contemporary Evangelical Thought Series by Carl H. F. Henry, as well as Systematic Theologies and the Classic Theological Collection. Offered in conjunction with Digital Publications®, these epoch-making volumes speak to the forces that threaten almost all the citadels of Christianity. Nothing is so much needed as an enduring perspective to correct and maintain the focus and range of spiritual sights for a confused, uncertain and apprehensive world. Just now Christians and others are reappraising its bias against traditional religion and the implicit disdain for religious confessions.

While evangelical missions and evangelism were tolerated in the twentieth century, the terms "evangelical" and "evangelical thought" were held in derision as anti-intellectualistic shadow from the past. The evangelical movement helped contribute to the decline and fall of the liberal heritage. Its analysis of liberalism's weakness, and its exhibition of biblical Christianity's strength, hastened the dawning of a new day.

On front after front the evangelical movement had to contend against sub-Christian and anti-Christian bias. Holding fast to the Gospel proclamation, both on mission fields abroad and in pulpits at home, evangelical Protestantism sounded the only summons to Christ as the Redeemer from sin.

This evangelical witness carried forward the virile literary inheritance of a past which reached back through the Reformation even to the apostolic age. Evangelicals continued to emphasize the inextricable relationship between the fate of the Bible and the fate of Christianity. Interestingly enough, even the newer mediating theology of our day is returning to this awareness.

Taking over a decade for their production, the books of Henry's Contemporary Evangelical Thought Series consist of six volumes initiated with a volume under the title Contemporary Evangelical Thought (1957). It was followed by Revelation and the Bible (1958), Basic Christian Doctrines (1962), Christian Faith and Modern Theology (1964), Jesus of Nazareth: Saviour and Lord (1967), and Fundamentals of the Faith (1969). These volumes carry this series designation by way of subtitle. Also available from Carl F. H. Henry is Twilight of a Great Civilization (1988). Additional works by other authors include Systematic Theologies and the Classic Theological Collection.
