Half a Century

By Arno Clemens Gaebelein

"Half a Century" is the compelling autobiography of Arno Clemens Gaebelein, a pivotal figure in the development of American fundamentalism and dispensationalist theology. This memoir chronicles five decades of Gaebelein's extensive ministry, spanning from the late 19th century through the first thirty years of the 20th century. As a prominent Bible teacher, author, and editor, Gaebelein provides an insider's perspective on the religious shifts of his time, offering a firsthand account of the rise of the Bible conference movement and the defense of orthodox faith during the fundamentalist-modernist controversy.

The narrative follows Gaebelein's journey as an immigrant who became a leading voice in evangelical circles, detailing his tireless efforts in biblical exposition and his significant role in the study of prophecy. The work highlights his interactions with key theological leaders and his dedicated advocacy for Jewish missions, reflecting his deeply held eschatological convictions. "Half a Century" serves as an invaluable historical record for readers seeking to understand the theological foundations and cultural impacts of the early 20th-century Christian experience. It is a profound testament to a life spent in service of the gospel and a vital resource for scholars of American Protestantism.
