Dr. Carl F. H. Henry, 90, of 1020 Hill St., Watertown, internationally known theologian, journalist and evangelical leader, died on December 7, 2003, at Marquardt Memorial Manor.
A private graveside service was held in Oak Hill Cemetery, with the Rev. Allan Kranz of First Baptist Church officiating. A memorial service was scheduled for a later time.
Dr. Henry was born January 22, 1913, in New York, N.Y., son of Karl and Johanna (Vaethroeder) Henry. He married the former Helga Bender on August 17, 1940, in Chicago, Ill.
Founding editor of Christianity Today, Henry was the author and/or editor of more than 40 books, including his ground- breaking "The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism" in 1947, "Aspects of Christian Social Ethics" in 1964 and the six volume "God, Revelation and Authority" from 1976 to 1983. He also contributed hundreds of articles to journals and other printed venues.
Henry earned a B.A. and M.A. degrees from Wheaton College in Illinois, a B.D. and Th.D. from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Ph.D. from Boston University. He held teaching positions and lectureships at Northern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fuller Seminary (where he was also a founding faculty member), Eastern Baptist Seminary, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and other institutions in the United States and abroad.
Following his editorial responsibilities at Christianity Today, Henry served as lecturer-at-large for World Vision International and later Prison Fellowship Ministries in addition to other positions. His work, which included participation in numerous organizations, was worldwide and transdenominational.
Henry's entry in "Who's Who In the World" reads in part:
"The Bible remains the world's most indispensable reading, and a personal walk with God remains man's unsurpassable privilege. All the valid assumptions about the meaning and worth of life and about a just society flow from this."
Henry was a member of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.
