I should add that I agree with Doran on the article. I was mainly talking about Don’s last paragraph. I should have considered that my two sentences would be interpreted as rejecting Doran’s idea. Anybody who has read me knows that I am not a fundamentalist movement-wise, but idea-wise. The idea of fundamentalism is scriptural. What it looks like isn’t always, but I am very defensive of fundamentalism because of the idea. I believe the idea is what gets attacked by evangelicals.

In reply to Kent Brandenburg.

I agree. We get the same consistent message, all this bit about being “self-critical”, the legalism angle, the relativism when it comes to every aspect of worldliness. It all serves to erode a fairly clear position and open the possibilities of broader alliances.

There is nothing wrong with thinking about how to apply the Scriptures in new cultural contexts, but most of these questions aren’t that hard.

I think men are putting a spin on fundamentalism to allow men to get together with evangelicals. They are also trashing fundamentalism so that it doesn’t look any better than evangelicalism.
