The contemporary “drift to irrationalism” evinces the inadequacy of those limits within which modern thinkers, cut loose from supernaturalistic theism, have sought to find the meaning of life and existence.
Into the current philosophic tumult, the author of this pertinent volume casts a plea for the Biblical view of God and the world, as alone able to resolve the dilemmas of the modern mood.
Few things are as promising for the future of conservative Christianity as the vigorous apologetic mood among the younger evangelicals, among whom Professor Carnell stands as an able and effective representative. He is gifted in the pulpit and with the pen, as well as in the classroom. The added distinction of capturing the Evangelical Book Award bespeaks for him a wide and effective ministry in the evangelical movement, as well as affording tribute to his ability in the philosophic arena.
The author of this stimulating volume finds the answer to the contemporary thirst not in the philosophic naturalisms and idealisms, not in religious modernism, not in Romanism, nor in neosupernaturalism— all of which are indicted at the bar of an adequate coherence — but in Biblical theism. The case for theism stands or falls, in his view, with the conviction that God has spoken, and that He has not stuttered in His speech. This is firm ground. — from the Foreword by Dr. Carl Ft H. Henry.
