If you were to boil down what the most basic elements which make up "Fundamentalist," what are they?
We are being told (by UGC) that one must use a KJV, be dispensationalist and the rapture. That describes only ONE segment of fundamentalism. It ignores the history of fundamentalism which included Presbyterians, Methodists... and GASP! Episcopalians.
Princeton University was at the forefront as one of the main fundamentalist institutions. In fact, a recent fundamentalist leader, B. Myron Cedarholm was a graduate.
There are microcosms within fundamentalism. Many, today, don't use the term anymore for themselves (like me)... because it is now a confusing term.
Fundamentalism included people who used the KJV, ASV and even the RSV (John R. Rice promoted the RSV in the 1960s).
Fundamentalism splintered in the 1960s into groups related to eschatological differences.
