Carl F. H. Henry

==Influence on neo-evangelicalism==
Henry was one of the most influential figures in the development of Neo-Evangelicalism, which emerged in the 1940s and 1950s as a response to the fundamentalist-modernist controversies of the early 20th century. Henry sought to create a new movement that would combine orthodox Christian theology with broader cultural engagement rather than just within Christianity.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Strachan |first=Owen|author-link=Owen Strachan |title=Awakening the Evangelical Mind: An Intellectual History of the Neo-Evangelical Movement |publisher=Zondervan |isbn=}}</ref>  David F. Wells says Henry's belief in the authority of scripture and the importance of God as the foundation of Christianity helped to recover a more biblically grounded theology in contrast to the theological liberalism of the early 20th century.<ref name=":4">{{Cite book |last=Wells |first=David |title=God in the Wasteland: The Reality of Truth in a World of Fading Dream}}</ref> Henry's influence would likely not have had as far of a reach if not for his founding of the evangelical magazine Christianity Today and his work in establishing Fuller Theological Seminary and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.<ref name=":3" /> Neo-evangelism in years after Henry's influence has started to become more about conservatism and culture wars, however the legacy of Henry has inspired some neo-evangelists in recent years to promote a shift in emphasis to social justice and a broader assessment of cultural and political issues beyond the concerns of only conservatism.<ref name=":3" />
