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.
