"...revivalism should not be confused with fundamentalism"

By Filings on Thu, 08/28/25
Body

“Revivalism affected (and infected) everyone: evangelicals, fundamentalists, Pentecostals, and others. Plenty of fundamentalists, however, did not, and do not, accept revivalism. Nor should Calvinism be seen as the panacea to every problem revivalism produces.” - David de Bruyn

By Filings on Mon, 11/13/23

By Filings on Fri, 07/21/23
