Of all living theologians and church leaders, my one really great hero is Carl F.H. Henry. Sadly, he is not as well known this side of the Atlantic as he deserves to be, but this re-publication of his greatest and most important work should help to rectify the situation.
My own intellectual love-affair with his work started when I took my fiancee (now my wife) to hear him speak at Gilcomston South Church of Scotland in 1989 on the theme of Christianity and neo-paganism. Romantically speaking, the date was something of a disaster - my fiancee complained that she had not understood a word he had said - but intellectually, it set my mind on fire to know more about this man who had such confidence in his evangelical convictions and yet who was able to comment so intelligently on cultural trends from a theological perspective.
