This<\/a> article has already been cited elsewhere [see Greg Linscott<\/a> and PaleoBen<\/a>]. I have gotten through about half the article [something called family<\/em> and Christmas<\/em> keeps getting in the way of reading]. The article is interesting enough in itself. I may blog a bit on some of its highlights later, but I think it would be interesting if we reframed the questions Touchstone asked from an evangelical to a fundamentalist focus.<\/p>\n

How would fundamentalists answer these questions?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How do you define \u201cFundamentalist\u201d in a way that distinguishes Fundamentalists from other believing Christians? And has this definition changed over the last several years?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Has Fundamentalism matured since the 1950s, and if so in what ways?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Has Fundamentalism lost anything in the process of maturing (if it did)?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  4. Are there any fundamental differences within the Fundamentalist movement today, and do you think they will deepen into permanent divisions, or even have already? How might they be healed?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. What does your movement, speaking generally, fail to see that it ought to see?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  6. What would you say to a Fundamentalist tempted to become Catholic or Orthodox?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  7. What has Fundamentalist to offer the wider world that it will find nowhere else?<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. What else would you like to say?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don’t you think that is an interesting set of questions? I am going to do a little thinking on this, then post some answers from my perspective. If I could, I would tag Doran and Bauder to get their responses as well. Failing that, I think I’ll tag Greg<\/a> and Ben<\/a> since they both have already been mentioned and let’s throw in Chris<\/a> and Frank<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

    How about it guys? A post on your own site with a linkback would be fine, or  you could answer here. Even better would be if you tagged a few others to get there answers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
