| Résumé : |
The author has been hailed as “one of the leaders in the intellectual awakening of conservative evangelicalism after World War II” (Bruce L. Shelley) and as “one of the great evangelical theologians of our time” (John A. Sims). And this volume has been described as “the major attempt of an evangelical to display the completeness of Christianity’s values, as against the incompleteness of values in other options” (Gordon R. Lewis).
Carnell covers a wide range of topics. Beginning with. .Part I, “Emergence of a Problem,"he proceeds to a step-by-step analysis of the intellectual choices available to modern man. “The purpose of this volume,” writes the author, “is to trace through a set of typical value options in life. Reasons will be suggested in each case why one must move on from the lower to the higher on the one hand, and from the higher to faith in the person of Christ on the other. 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.” |
