He paved the way in evangelical systematic theology.Refusing to choose between liberalism and fundamentalism, he [Bloesch] nevertheless expressed his preference for a kind of Christianity that preserved the doctrinal deposit of orthodoxy: "In liberalism truth is dissolved so that only an amorphous experience remains. In rigid orthodoxy truth is frozen into a formula or credo. But there is hope that it can be brought back to life."
A tribute to Bloesch can be found here.
