The first major study to draw upon unknown or neglected sources, as well as original interviews with figures like Billy Graham, Awakening the Evangelical Mind uniquely tells the engaging story of how evangelicalism developed as an intellectual movement in the middle of the 20th century. Beginning with the life of Harold Ockenga, Strachan shows how Ockenga brought together a small community of Christian scholars at Harvard University in the 1940s who agitated for a reloaded Christian intellect.
With fresh insights based on original letters and correspondence, Strachan highlights key developments in the movement by examining the early years and humble beginnings of such future evangelical luminaries as George Eldon Ladd, Edward John Carnell, John Gerstner, Gleason Archer, Carl Henry, and Kenneth Kantzer.

Steele resigned as the Senior pastor at Bethel Baptist in Everett, Washington. He stepped away from his pulpit at the height of a revival as he felt prompted by God to move to another ministry. He loaded up the car with his young family made the long journey to Los Angeles. Providentially, he was commissioned by Charles Fuller to partner together and preach the gospel in Idaho, Montana and North Dakota. Pastor Steele was my grandfather, so I have a particular interest in his venture with Charles Fuller, the popular preacher on the Old Fashioned Revival Hour radio broadcast.My grandfather pastored churches in a day where the battle lines were drawn. He lived in a day when men were willing to lose life and limb for the sake of doctrinal convictions. But he also lived in a day when the church was in a titanic struggle against the cultural monster of modernism.Dr. Owen Strachan’s book, Awakening the Evangelical Mind provides an invaluable service for the church as he explores where the battle lines were drawn and introduces readers to the key players. These neo-evangelicals, including Harold Ockenga, Carl Henry, Billy Graham, and others helped establish the Christian mind in a culture awash in a sea of modernism.Strachan traces the evangelical trajectory of these seminal thinkers by guiding readers through key historical turning points and decisions that were decisive for the establishment of the Christian mind in America. The author demonstrates how select Christian colleges and Seminaries were launched and the men who envisioned them. These are important historical details that the author skillfully tells; stories that have either been forgotten or worse yet, never heard!R.C. Sproul and Mark Noll have both lamented about the decline of the Christian mind. Strachan’s excellent work is a much-needed corrective and salve for the soul. Strachan is eager to prop up the long history of the evangelical mind and optimistic about its future: “If the evangelical mind is not always appreciated, this simply cannot be because it does not exist. It does exist, and its contributions over two millennia are monumental.”The author argues that evangelicals face some important decisions in the days ahead:The church faces a profound choice: it can retreat and huddle, nursing its wounds as it accepts its intellectual marginalization. Or, it can learn once more from Ockenga, Henry, Graham, and the Cambridge evangelicals, and promote outstanding education that not only engages the questing heart but freshly awakens the evangelical mind.Awakening the Evangelical Mind is a call to the next generation of Christian leaders to lead with biblical conviction and bold courage; to continue the legacy that was established by some great men of the faith.

A Comprehensive Timeline of Neo-Evangelicalism By Zach Barnhart Today in the beginnings of the twenty-first century, there is a deep need for intellectual Christian thinkers. As the gospel message increasingly becomes accused of being hostile and insufficient, the value of Christian beliefs not only as private devotion, but as public worldview, is also intensifying. What would it look like for us to start a movement in evangelicalism to continue to uphold Christian truths in our culture for coming generations?In Awakening the Evangelical Mind, Strachan speaks into our possible future by actually looking backward, highlighting and discussing prominent early-twentieth century theologians and scholars who blazed a trail for the neo-evangelicalism movement.Strachan’s book is important because in it we find a handful of key Christian thinkers who not only should be remembered for prior efforts, but established a pattern for making a movement happen. Emphasizing most notably the roles of Harold J. Ockenga and Carl F.H. Henry, Strachan provides a comprehensive timeline of this intellectual movement and its place in the middle of the 1900s. As someone not very familiar with the life and work of men such as Edward John Carnell, Kenneth Kantzer, and George Ladd, I found this book to be really insightful and “gap-filling” in helping my understanding of how evangelicalism has grown and progressed over the years.The prevailing strength of Awakening is the overall layout of the book. It was fascinating to see the book organized mostly by exchanges of letters between these scholars and thinkers. It was like being inserted into the actual timeline. Strachan has elsewhere described this manuscript like watching a movie script unfold, and I couldn’t agree more. It was very readable and easy to follow. Having this neglected or unknown correspondence is a huge plus for the book and helps brings a lot of once-hidden material to light.Another great highlight of the book was the amount of time Strachan spent talking about the work of Harold Ockenga. I don’t think I quite had a grasp on the level of his influence in church history, and now I see how much God used him as a force for the Church, the university, and in culture. He was a sort of mentor to many of the prominent figures highlighted in this book, and his profound impact on the movement as a whole is unable to be neglected after reading a book like this.This is a great book for anyone looking to better understand the origins of the evangelicalism movement and its key leaders. One of the reasons I enjoyed it so much was because I recognize the parallels between what is happening today in Christian academics, and what happened nearly a century ago. It is encouraging to see these faithful and courageous men being honored and remembered, and also motivating to continue to place an importance on intellectual thinking in Christianity. Awakening the Evangelical Mind is a great, easy, and accessible look into the history of an important movement by Dr. Strachan.I received this book for free from Zondervan Academic and the opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255 : “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Awakening the Evangelical Mind By Michael Taylor "Awakening the Evangelical Mind" by Owen Strachan is a good title concerning two important figures in the movement to portray and apply Christianity intellectually in American society: Harold John Ockenga and Carl Henry, along with much attention on Billy Graham. With Christian fundamentalism's feeling and legalism being subject to much criticism, there was a need to show that Christianity was also a religion for intellectuals. For example, in the Bible, Jesus, Paul, John, Isaiah, Daniel, Moses, David and others displayed strong intellectual powers in addition to feelings.Strachan focuses on how Ockenga (who among other things was the pastor of a prominent Boston church) and Henry (a prolific writer) attempted to show the intellectual side of Christianity. Whether by several speaking engagements, starting a conservative theological seminary, etc. Ockenga and Henry were tireless in their efforts and laid the groundwork for future evangelical leaders (Albert Mohler, Wayne Grudem, John Piper, etc.).Strachan closes the book with four insights evangelicals can use in an increasingly secular and openly hostile culture towards American Christianity. The book is around 180 pages, may be completed in a few readings, has a very readable narrative, and smoothly transitions from topic to topic.Good title and useful future reference.
