Saw this in a christian book store AGES ago and wanted to pick it up but didn't. I've been kicking myself ever since. Got a gift card to Amazon and ordered it. This is from the book's wiki page: The Fundamentals or The Fundamentals: A Testimony To The Truth edited by A. C. Dixon and later by Reuben Archer Torrey is a set of 90 essays in 12 volumes published from 1910 to 1915 by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles. They were designed to affirm orthodox Protestant beliefs, especially those of the Reformed tradition, and defend against ideas deemed inimical to them. They are widely considered to be the foundation of modern Christian fundamentalism. The volumes defended orthodox Protestant beliefs and attacked higher criticism, liberal theology, Catholicism (also called by them Romanism), socialism, modern philosophy, atheism, Christian Science, Mormonism, Millennial Dawn (an early term for a particular Christian Bible Student movement which mostly later became the "Jehovah's Witnesses" denomination), Spiritualism, and evolutionism (an article by geologist George Frederick Wright). (Wright did not attack biological evolution.) |

The problem with excluding the Catholic church from 'true' Christianity is that one is left having to explain how the books of the Bible were selected and how doctrines that Protestants still follow were established by men who weren't 'true' Christians. And what happens to all those poor lay people who believed they were following Jesus for the first 1600 years after Jesus lived, are they burning in Hell right now? |

personally, I have far less of a problem with Catholocism than many fundies. I was one for 17 years, but left when I has a crisis of faith over the veneration of Mary. Catholics recite the Apostle's Creed at every Mass. The Apostle's Creed & the Nician Creed are my measureing sticks for what is & isn't christianity. The rest are details where good men can differ. Also, and I think this pioint is made throughly on this forum, Roman Cathololicism is a lot broader than just the Jesuits, and Catholicism as a whole is a lot broader than just Roman Catholicism. But you'll never get a Jesuit priest to admit to any of that. |

A crisis of faith over venerating Mary? I've never heard a single fundamentalist call her blessed, which is enough proof that they don't really read their Bibles in full, but rather cherry pick a few verses here and there. The concept of "Protestant orthodoxy" is funny considering the fact that the three big reformers of history did not agree with each other in terms of theology and the fact that no turn of the century fundamentalist would have let Luther, Calvin, or Zwingli preach in their churches. Then again, they wouldn't let Augustine, John Chrysostom, or Polycarp preach in their churches either. |
