Flannel Theology, Christianity in America, Part 8, The Fundamentalists
We're nearing the end of our search into Church History as we only have 3 classes left! Today's lesson follows up on the lesson from two weeks ago about a shift in Western Christianity in a more liberal direction. This shift can summarized as an attempt to accommodate culture by question or denying the part of Scripture that are unbelievable to modern man. The response to this liberal denial of basic Biblical teaching is called "Fundamentalism" and it is the subject of today's lesson.
