This study examines the contentious claim that much evangelicalism is fundamentalist in character. Within Protestantism, the term "fundamentalism" denotes not only a movement but also a mentality which has greatly affected evangelicals, and which involves preserving as factual a reading of scripture as possible. Here the development and dismantling of the fundamentalist mentality is examined in light of philosophical influences upon evangelicalism over the last three centuries, notably: common sense; realism; neo-Calvinism; and modern hermeneutical philosophy. Particular attention is paid to James Barr's critique of fundamentalism and to evangelical rejoinders.;Harriet A. Harris proposes that the fundamentalist mentality does not do justice to evangelical experience since it is more concerned with the Bible's factual truthfulness than with its life-giving effects. An appendix on global fundamentalism brings together two rarely united fields of study: Protestant fundamentalism's relation to evangelicalism and its relation to resurgent movements in other religions.;This book is intended for scholars and students of theology, with a particular interest in religious fundamentalism and evangelicalism, the history, sociology, and philosophy of religion, and biblical studies.
