Early life and education
Harrison was born on July 2, 1902, in Skagway, Alaska to Presbyterian missionaries Reverend Norman Baldwin and Emma Harrison. His father Norman served as pastor of Skagway Presbyterian Church and later on the faculty of Dallas Theological Seminary. 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.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=73xfDQAAQBAJ&q=Everett+F.+Harrison&pg=PA1048|title=Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States|last1=Kurian|first1=George Thomas|last2=Lamport|first2=Mark A.|date=2016-11-10|publisher=Rowman & Littlefield|isbn=9781442244320|language=en}}

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.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uufvZyG-hjEC&q=Everett+F.+Harrison+and+j.+gresham+machen&pg=PA26|title=Reforming Fundamentalism: Fuller Seminary and the New Evangelicalism|last=Marsden|first=George M.|date=1995-03-01|publisher=Wm.
