  Edward John Carnell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward John Carnell (1919-1967) was a prominent Christian theologian and apologist, was an ordained Baptist pastor, and served as President of Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California.
Carnell was born in Antigo, Wisconsin on June 28, 1919, and was the third of four children born to Herbert Carnell and Fannie Carstens.
Carnell was attracted to this seminary as it was part of an emerging movement of reform within Protestant Fundamentalism.

 CSCICOP on John Edward's Fraud
The article, John Edward: Hustling the Bereaved, is long and goes into detail about how Edward pulls off his act, but an instance of Edward apparently outright deceiving an audience stick out as the most damning.
Be that as it may, on Dateline Edward was actually caught in an attempt to pass off previously gained knowledge as spirit revelation.
Significantly, the two men had chatted and Edward had obtained useful bits of information that he afterward pretended had come from the spirits.

 Ankerberg Theological Research Institute - The John Ankerberg Show
In the Gospel records, Jesus claimed to be God incarnate (John 5:18; 10:27-33); He exercises innumerable divine prerogatives, and fully rests His claims on His numerous and abundantly testified, historically unparalleled miracles (John 10:37-38) and His forthcoming physical resurrection from the dead (John 10:17-18).
Edward John Carnell once commented that, "The incongruity between man’s desire for life and the reality of physical death is the most maddening problem of all.
Drawing on interviews conducted over the past 15 years, Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. Jimmy DeYoung present a unique “on the scene” look from a Christian and biblical perspective, at events in Israel during that time period.

Ambrose John Wilson claimed that James Bartley was swallowed by a sperm whale and was rescued two days later near the Falkland Islands in 1891.
Edward John Carnell described a similar frustration which ultimately led him to adopt a "verificational approach" to Christian apologetics (cf.
Bruce comments on Acts 4:13 - "Peter and John were in fact amme ha-aretz - 'people of the land' in the rabbinical sense of the phrase to denote the rank and file of the population who could not be expected to know or practice the minutiae of the oral law (cf.

 A Defense of Reformed (biblical) Presuppositional Apologetics by Cornelius VanTil
The late Edward John Carnell, author of An Introduction to Christian Apologetics and Professor of Apologetics at Fuller Theological Seminary, was the writer of this series.
Carnell would escape such a charge by showing that the facts of experience, such as all men recognize, and logic, such as all men must use, point to the truth of Scripture.
Carnell does not distinguish between the biblical doctrine of freedom as based upon and involved in the fact of man’s creation, and the doctrine of freedom, in the sense of autonomy, which makes man a law unto himself.

 bible.org: Speaking the Truth in Love:
Perspectives on Apologetics
Carnell, as we argued in chapter 20, integrated Reformed and evidentialist apologetics (and in his later works introduced some elements of fideism as well).
The latter “stresses historical evidence as the basis for demonstrating the truth of Christianity” and is represented by John Warwick Montgomery and Gary Habermas.
John Frame’s “presuppositional apologetics”; is a kinder, gentler version of the approach pioneered by Cornelius Van Til.

Harold John Ockenga (1905-1985) was an American evangelical leader, a Congregational minister, and one of the co-founders of Fuller Theological Seminary.
Alongside of Ockenga were figures such as Carl Henry, Harold Lindsell, Wilbur Smith, and Edward John Carnell.
In an effort to redress these concerns Ockenga and J. Elwin Wright of the New England Fellowship planned the establishing of a new organisation known as the National Association of Evangelicals.

 Chapter 2 Conversion
6 I want to express gratitude and deep admiration for Edward John Carnell's penetrating analysis of "the judicial sentiment" and its relation to the existence of God.
All contempt for his glory is duly punished, either on the cross, where the wrath of God is propitiated for those who believe, or in hell, where the wrath of God is poured out on those who don't.
Therefore, I conclude-(1) from Jesus' ordinary use of the word "treasure," (2) from the close similarity in wording between Mark 10:21 and Matthew 13:44, and 3) from the speculative nature of the opposite arguments-that the traditional interpretation is correct.

 The Prophet and the Evangelist - Books & Culture
Edward John Carnell published "A Proposal to Reinhold Niebuhr" in the Christian Century two months after "A Proposal to Billy Graham" had appeared in August of 1956.
Carnell had written his dissertation on Niebuhr's theology, and as such was not only conversant with the material but found much to recommend it.
The point for Carnell was that the Christian life required individual and social repentance (especially regarding race), something he knew Niebuhr understood but had neglected in his critique of Graham.

 Direction: The Biblical Call to Unity: Implications for Mennonite Brethren
A particular emphasis of John’s Gospel is that because of what Christ has done, there exists only one new people of God which transcends racial, ethnic, and sectarian boundaries (cf.
Once again, to note John 17:2-23, unless the Church is one, the world will be unable to recognize Jesus’ relationship to the Father and subsequently his role and mission.
Edward John Carnell is an example of those who are unwilling to compromise here: “When a decision must be made between unity and truth, unity must yield to truth, for it is better to be divided by truth than to be united by error.”

 FAQ On Cults, Apologetics & Discernment
The Christian faith was being seen as directly challenged by cultic innovations, and the early Church's ancient tactic of the apologia, or reasoned defense of the Faith, enjoyed a long overdue rediscovery by her spiritual heirs.
These largely Evangelical and Jewish efforts proceeded from the perception that these groups were not merely "competitors" but were spiritually destructive influences that defied orthodoxy, targeted new converts and the established faithful who were ignorant of the dangers.
While there would not appear to be much in common between the ancient Near East as described in the Bible and today's modern world, the descriptions and activities of certain religious and philosophical factions and leaders of that day give great insight into how cultic groups operate.

Several of his fans demanded that I either prove to them that it was impossible to communicate with the dead or else apologize to Edwards.

Edward John Carnell has what I consider to be a proper attitude toward Scripture, and wish to emulate in this writing, when he says: "The doctrines of Scripture can be apprehended only as we approach the text with a spirit of meekness.
Although James Arminius and John Wesley taught contrary to Grotius on the nature of God, human nature, and the atonement, many Arminians adopted his views and zealously propagated them.
John Wesley (1703-1791) is the English founder of Methodism, and is known for his emphasis on Christian sanctification and an Arminian theological approach (in opposition to the Calvinistic teaching of predestination and election).

On 3rd January 1937, Leeds SFL (which by this point was by far the largest and most active fan group in the country) put on the first ever SF convention at the Theosophical Hall in Leeds.
Early in December 1951 a new fan, John Gutteridge, had contacted this BSFA and been told that it had been formed five years earlier, had 130 members in the UK, 57 in the US, and that his own membership number was 254.
In an issue of Ron Bennett's fanzine, PLOY, that appeared not long after the convention, Ted Carnell explained that NW had never carried a fan column because he considered it would be of too little interest to the majority of readers.

 “The Morality of Everlasting Punishment” by Mark R. Talbot
John Wenham, for instance, declares that to hold that biological death “is the end and that there is no Day of Judgment.
Since sin is lawlessness (1 John 3:4), and since laws set limits on what we are supposed to do, any sin, in intention, has an element of limitlessness to it—an element of refusing to be bounded by the limits God has set on what we should be or do.
As I have attempted to show in my first section, Shedd claims that “the demand, even here upon earth, for the punishment of the intensely and incorrigibly wicked, proves that retribution is grounded in the human conscience” (ibid.).
