for Promise Unfulfilled: The Failed Strategy of Modern
Evangelicalism by Dr. Rolland D. McCune
“This
book has been needed for a long time, and finally McCune has written it. He
documents his research meticulously, making this book difficult to argue against.
He tells the rise of new evangelicalism, with its disdain for fundamentalism
and its pride of intellect. He shows throughout how the movement was an attack
on the inspiration and the literal interpretation of Scripture. Now after half
a century it is hard to find a single founding objective that can be called
a success, to the point that evangelicals cannot even agree on a definition
of their name. Fundamentalists who might be tempted to move leftward will find
that this book is a must read.”
Dr.
Robert Delnay
Bible Professor and former Department Chairman
Clearwater Christian College in Clearwater, Florida
“Promise
Unfulfilled is indeed a profitable work. McCune's content is carefully researched
and his conclusions are scripturally based.”
Dr.
David Beale
Professor of Church History
Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina
“A
careful comprehensive theological and historical treatment of the New Evangelical
movement by a competent conservative scholar – Dr. McCune has done a
great service to those committed to practicing ministry in the context of
Biblical Fundamentalism. “
Dr.
Sam Horn
Executive Vice President
Northland Baptist Bible College in Dunbar, Wisconsin
“While
in seminary, I had the privilege of taking Dr. McCune’s course on the
History and Theology of New Evangelicalism and it turned out to be one of the
most influential courses I have ever taken. Since I was not born until after
Harold J. Ockenga announced the launch of the New Evangelicalism and did not
begin to think seriously about such matters until almost two decades after that,
it was eye-opening to learn this history and see its implications for the world
of ministry I was entering. Frankly, before taking the course I knew what the
Fundamentalist position was, but I didn’t fully understand why. The material
contained in that course, and in this book, helped me understand the dangers
of the compromises which had been made before I was born but were bearing very
bad fruit by the time I was entering ministry. Now, almost another two decades
later, the costs of these compromises continue to mount. I pray that the material
in this book will have the same effect on others that it has had on me, and
I hope that it will receive a wide audience among Fundamentalists and Evangelicals.
It is a serious and solemn call to faithfulness that desperately needs to be
heard.”
