READ
Elton Trueblood was known as one of the most important intellectual spokespersons for evangelical Christianity in the 20th century. His works on living the Christian Faith, along with the Yokefellow movement he founded and led, were a source of help to millions who sought fresh ways to incorporate their Christian faith into daily living. He even devised a self-study program for those engaged in what he called The Ministry of Common Life.All of the above was the main emphasis of the second half of his writing career. But until he retired from Earlham College, Elton Trueblood made his living, along with being a Quaker minister, as a professor of philosophy at five colleges and universities, three of them Quaker: Guilford, Haveford, Harvard, Stanford, and Earlham. The books he wrote between the years 1935 and 1942 were of an academic and philosophical nature. They were:The Essence of Spiritual Religion. 1936.The Trustworthiness of Religious Experience. 1939.The Knowledge of God. 1939.The Logic of Belief. 1942.Trueblood knew, and had a great appreciation for process philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. They briefly taught together at Harvard. While Trueblood never identified himself as a process thinker, process themes are found in these early books.In The Thrust of Wonder, Clarence Graham White, a student of Trueblood's, and a process theologian himself, explores the process connections in Trueblood's early writing under four process themes: Contradiction, Change, Connection, and Commitment.
