In "The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism," Carl F. H. Henry, a seminal figure in the realm of evangelical Christianity, delivers a powerful critique and call to action for the fundamentalist community. Published in 1947, this landmark text challenges evangelical Christians to extend their faith's reach beyond the confines of personal salvation and scriptural inerrancy to actively engage with broader societal issues. Henry's compelling argument for a reformation within conservative Christianity advocates for a dynamic, ecumenical approach to faith that is as concerned with the soul of the culture as it is with individual souls. His vision for evangelicalism is not only to uphold the tenets of Christianity but to embody a faith that speaks directly to the intellectual and social concerns of the modern world. Henry's work is a manifesto for those within the evangelical community who sense the call to apply their faith's principles to the pressing issues of their day. "The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism" proposes a Christianity that refuses to retreat from the world but instead, with boldness and conviction, seeks to influence it. Through a persuasive blend of theological insight and practical application, Henry crafts a timeless message that resonates as strongly today as it did at its first publication. This book is an essential read for anyone within the evangelical movement seeking to navigate the tension between maintaining doctrinal purity and engaging effectively with the world around them.

Russell Moore recommended this book on Twitter.
However marred, the world vessel of clay is not without some of the influence of the Master Molder. God has not left Himself entirely without witness in the global calamity; He discloses Himself in the tragedies as well as the triumphs ofhistory. He works in history as well as above history. There is a universal confrontation of men and women by the divine Spirit, invading all cultures and all individual lives. There is a constructive work of God in history, even where the redemptive Gospel does not do a recreating work. The evangelical missionary message cannot be measured for success by the number of converts only. The Christian message has a salting effect upon the earth. It aims at a re-created society; where it is resisted, it often encourages the displacement of a low ideology by one relatively higher.
