Since the middle of the 1800’s theological liberalism has become an influential movement and a part of mainstream thought within many churches, seminaries, and denominations throughout Europe and the United States.
The rise of a counter-movement to “battle for the fundamentals” of Christian orthodoxy began in the later portions of the 1800’s and really came to prominence in the United States and Great Britain during the 1920’s. This movement is now known as Christian fundamentalism.
In this episode, Kenny explains the ideology of fundamentalism (generically speaking) within politics, religion, and general ideology. Then Kenny dives into the history of the modern Christian fundamentalist movement and its good elements, as well as its more modern and detrimental elements.
