In Mainstreaming Fundamentalism: John R. Rice and Fundamentalism's
Public Reemergence, Keith Bates embarks on a thematic and
chronological exploration of twentieth-century Baptist
fundamentalism in postwar America, sharing the story of a man whose
career intersected with many other leading fundamentalists of the
twentieth century, such as J. Frank Norris, Bob Jones Sr., Bob
Jones Jr., and Jerry Falwell.Unique among histories of American
fundamentalism, this book explores the theme of Southern
fundamentalism's reemergence through a biographical lens. John R.
Rice's mission to inspire a broad cultural activism within
fundamentalism - particularly by opposing those who fostered an
isolationist climate - would give direction and impetus to the
movement for the rest of the twentieth century. To support this
claim, Bates presents chapters on Rice's background and education,
personal and ecclesiastical separatism, and fundamentalism and
political action, tracing his rise to leadership during a critical
phase of fundamentalism's development until his death in 1980.
Bates draws heavily upon primary source texts that include writings
from Rice's fundamentalist contemporaries, his own The Sword of the
Lord articles, and his private papers - particularly correspondence
with many nationally known preachers, local pastors, and laypeople
over more than fifty years of Rice's ministry. The incorporation of
these writings, combined with Bates's own conversations with Rice's
family, facilitate a deeply detailed, engaging examination that
fills a significant gap in fundamentalist history studies.
Mainstreaming Fundamentalism: John R. Rice and Fundamentalism's
Public Reemergence provides a nuanced and insightful study that
will serve as a helpful resource to scholars and students of
postwar American fundamentalism, Southern fundamentalism, and
Rice's contemporaries.
