Everett Falconer Harrison (July 2, 1902 – February 10, 1999) [1] was an American theologian.
Early life and education
Harrison was born on July 2, 1902, in Skagway, Alaska, to Presbyterian missionaries. He attended the University of Washington ( BA, 1923) and then Princeton University ( AM, 1927) and Princeton Theological Seminary ( Th.B, 1927) where he studied under J. Gresham Machen. Harrison was also ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1927. He received two doctorates: Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary in 1938 and a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1950. [2]
Neo-Evangelicalism and Founding Fuller
Although Harrison served on the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary from 1928–1939 and 1944–1947, [3] he became an important figure in the Neo-Evangelical movement of the mid 20th Century. Harrison was an important figure involved in rejecting J. Gresham Machen's call to leave the Presbyterian Church, and had an on/off relationship with the Dallas Theological Seminary and its President Lewis Chafer, due to Chafer's fundamentalist view of dispensationalism. [4]
Harrison was pastor at the Third Presbyterian Church in Chester, Pennsylvania, from 1940 to 1944. [5]
In 1947, Harrison accepted Charles Fuller's invitation to become a charter faculty member of Fuller Theological Seminary, [6] and remained there until his retirement in 1980. Harrison was also one of the founding signers of the National Association of Evangelicals. [2]
