Unfortunately, the lecture of Kenneth Kantzer is overly optimistic about Neo-Evangelicalism and centers on a doctrinal minimalism that reduces Evangelicalism to an ecumenical unity that even includes Roman Catholics as having "Evangelicals" in the ranks of the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, the Roman Catholic Church still officially condemns the Gospel in the canons of the Council of Trent.

Carl F. H. Henry, 1913-2003. 
Th.D, Northern Baptist Seminary, Ph.D, Boston
University.  Widely published.  First editor of
Billy Graham's "Christianity Today."
Kantzer also confuses civil religion with biblical Christianity as if being a Christian is more about opposing abortion and pornography and homosexual marriage than promoting the law/gospel distinstinction and the ordinary means of grace. Kantzer's lecture is typical of the theology of glory and social transformation rather than the eternal consequences for souls who reject the theology of the cross.
