Let me start with a quick analogy. I have what is called "NET Cancer." My oncologist told me, "Sadly, those studying to become oncologists have about 45 minutes in one class in their 4 years of study related to your kind of cancer." Not real comforting... but things are progressing.
In a similar "vein," I went to a Bible college that was billed as a Fundamental Baptist College. In my 4 years as a student, we didn't even have one class on "fundamentalism." We had an entire semester on "Baptist History," but we didn't have any classes devoted to "Fundamentalism"
At my Fundamental Baptist Seminary, we were taught the history and development, but not during my B.A.
Was this true for you? If so, do you think this lack of education about Fundamentalism in the college setting contributed to the demise of Fundamentalism? It certainly would explain why many who call themselves "Fundamental Baptists," today, can't even describe or explain the history of it.
