Harold John Ockenga Sermons (3 vols.)
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Alongside men like Carl F. H. Henry, Harold Lindsell, Wilbur Smith, and Edward John Carnell, Harold John Ockenga was a prominent leader in the Neo-Evangelical movement in the mid-twentieth century. Ockenga was one of the earliest graduates of Westminster Theological Seminary, having followed J. Gresham Machen, as a student, from Princeton to Westminster when the school was first founded. In 1947 he and Charles E. Fuller founded Fuller Theological Seminary in 1947, along with Charles Henry and Harold Lindsell.
Neo-Evangelicalism rejected the separatism of fundamentalism and sought to engage with the theological dialogue of the day. The sermons and lectures included in this collection represent some of Ockenga's most important insights into the history of the Church, the theological heritage of evangelicalism and the biblical foundations of the Christian heart. All these sermons were given in the 1930's and 1940's as the pastor at Park Street Church in Boston, Massachusetts.
