Christian Commitment: An Apologetic (Edward Carnell Library)

Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) Rather than mounting a rational proof for God's existence, the author advocates here a "spiritual approach to God." This calls for an exercise not only of one's rational faculties, but also of the spiritual. The four parts of this book, originally published in 1957, treat the development and application of "knowledge by moral acceptance," the process of becoming acquainted with the person of God, and concluding inferences and problems.

Edward John Carnell was an ordained Baptist minister, born in Antigo, Wisconsin. For three years he served as Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at Gordon Divinity School. He was appointed as the second President of Fuller Theological Seminary from 1954 to 1959. Carnell resigned his position in 1959 to give himself fully to teaching, serving as Professor of Apologetics at Fuller for eight additional years.
Dr. Carnell contributed to many religious journals and authored several books including 'An Introduction to Christian Apologetics', 'Television: Servant or Master?', 'The Theology of Reinhold Niebuhr', 'A Philosophy of the Christian Religion', and 'Christian Commitment'.
