Description
Summary:This article gives a clear and concise account of the rise and development of the fundamentalist movement in the Presbyterian church. Beginning with the agitation aroused in the nineties by the charges of heresy brought against Professors Briggs, H. P. Smith, and McGiffert, the movement advanced from a concern for the infallibility of the Scriptures to the insistence on certain doctrines declared to be fundamental in Christianity. The actions of the presbyteries and General Assembly in the Fosdick case are cited, and an interpretation of the significance of the controversy is given.
