Founded in 1982, the ISAE has been sponsoring and organizing conferences and lectures for nearly thirty years.  During this time the Evangelical Studies Bulletin has functioned primarily as a newsletter updating interested individuals on scholarly activity related to the study of Evangelicalism.  It has also, however, taken on the role of an academic journal by publishing book reviews, articles and rejoinders.  Thus, the ESB has featured some interesting reviews and discussions over the years.

This Autumn we decided to place a “classic ” issue of the ESB on our website which features two book reviews of Mark Noll’s seminal 1994 publication The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind by the late evangelical theologian Carl F.H. Henry and Yale historian Jon Butler.  In this same issue the ISAE also published a provocative, and controversial, dialogue (entitled “Evangelicals and the Writing of History”) between Yale Professor Harry Stout and conservative British churchman Iain Murray concerning Stout’s recently published biography on George Whitefield entitled The Divine Dramatist: George Whitefield and the Rise of Modern Evangelicalism (Eerdmans, 1991).

We hope you will enjoy this ESB issue from our vault.
