Evangelicalism
Fundamentalism
Mark Noll looks back at 50 years of Christianity Today in “Where We Are and How We Got Here.” This excerpt should prove interesting to our readers…
“The result… was a clear distinction between separatistic and intentionally narrow fundamentalism and more open, intentionally outgoing evangelicalism. While outsiders have not always recognized the distinction, it has been crucial. It draws a straight line from Graham to Bill Hybels, Rick Warren, and Tim Keller. Fundamentalists would seek to protect the gospel by separating from the world. Evangelicals, by contrast, would promote it by engaging the world—and using whatever means modern America made available.
