Liberal says that those who don’t admit that are not well informed of historical theology. I am sorry for the fate of anyone who tries to argue with a fundamentalist on the basis of authority. The Bible and the corpus theologicum of the Church is on the Fundamentalist side. via Hip and...

Proud Fundamentalist | SharperIron
In most of everyday life we understand how groups work. We understand that if two entities are in the same group, each is not necessarily in all the same groups as the other. In a bowl of apples, all are in the group “apples,” but only some are in the group “green apples”...
Chris Hedges: Fundamentalism Kills
The gravest threat we face from terrorism, as the killings in Norway by Anders Behring Breivik underscore, comes not from the Islamic world but the radical Christian right and the secular fundamentalists who propagate the bigoted, hateful caricatures of observant Muslims and those defined as our internal enemies. The caricature and fear are spread...
The Norway Bomber is a Christian Fundamentalist?
This from the comments on Jim’s blog: The difference between a (so-called) “Christian fundamentalist” terrorist and a Muslim fundamentalist terrorist is not really between them – they are fairly similar – but between the responses of the Christian and Muslim communities. via The Norway Bomber is a Christian Fundamentalist: Anders Behring Breivik | Zwinglius...
Fundamentalist/fundamentalist will no longer do. What will?
It is obvious that the term “Fundamentalist” will never recover its proper usage. Neither can we distinguish between a theological Fundamentalist and an idealogical fundamentalist by calling one a Fundamentalist and the other a fundamentalist, thus distinguishing them by the “F/f.” On Joel’s blog I said, I once naively thought that the term “Fundamentalist”...
Phil Johnson: How Skepticism Masquerading as Christianity Almost Cost Me My Soul
I came to Christ after being steeped for several years in the rankest brand of liberal Methodism. In the church I attended as an adolescent, the pastor and nearly all of my Sunday school teachers treated the Bible as a collection of legends, concocted by fallible human authors. They taught me that the Bible...
I Just Realized…
I let my subscription to the Sword of The Lord lapse back in December. That should have been done much sooner. Never the less, it is now June and I just noticed that I never missed when it stopped coming. I’m still a Fundamentalist. I guess it just goes to show that one can...
Fundamentalism or fundamentalism?
I think Joel gets it. Speaking of the roots of fundamentalists (those who hold the name, but not necessarily the doctrines of Fundamentalism): It is the fear of the unknown. Fear of uncertainty. Fear that you may not be correct. It is not an adherence to a certain belief – it is the clinging...
Historic Fundamentalism part 5
In my mind Historic Fundamentalism as a movement was a good thing. Sure, there were probably excesses. Human are normally people who go to extremes in almost everything they do. The goal and the purpose seems to have been honorable, however. What went wrong? Why is fundamentalism now distrusted and maligned? Why is “fundamentalist”...
Historic Fundamentalism part 4
Hudson, in Religion in America notes that fundamentalism had many moderates at the first. Later, he states, there arose militant fundamentalists who sought to take over denominations, and were prepared to fight for what they held to be true. Hudson does not seem to speak of any fundamentalist with favor, but these are certainly...
