Carl F. H. Henry and Cultural Change

Informed by the Reformed tradition in general and Kuyperianism in particular, Carl F. H. Henry advocated a transformationalist view of Christian cultural engagement. Recently, Henry and those who follow in his train have come under scrutiny by certain contemporary figures who think this vision is fundamentally flawed. Was Henry right or wrong? Can the Christian community reasonably hope for cultural renewal?
