Someday, will Mogget be teaching a class on fundamentalism? If she does, I am wondering who she would pull in as a guest lecturer on the topic. I do have a number of recommendations for the class exposure. 😉
Umm, she does parse the fundamentalist in this fashion within the thread of her musings on Catholicism and Modernity:
Nobody I know reads under any illusion that we will ever know the Utterly Eternal True meaning intended by the original author, except perhaps the fundamentalists.
As a fundamentalist, er biblicist, er whatever you want to call me, I pause and ponder.
I am thankful for an utterly eternal Word who speaks true and clear through living texts. Supernatural experience. Redemptive new life. Joy incomparable.
So you think I’ve been Very Naughty? Sigh. 😉 Give me a few book titles then, my friend, and I’ll give another try.
Mogs, today, we are putting up trusses on our church building addition here in Ammon, Idaho. Round #2. The first ones got blown down.
I’ve got some great ideas for your perusal.
Let me get back with you later tonight.
I would encourage you to become familiar with three self-identified 2008 fundamentalists (who are humble, scholarly students and also fleshing out theology in the vein of historical evangelicalism).
Two pastors:
Douglas McLachlan (wrote the book, Reclaiming Authentic Fundamentalism)
Mark Minnick (Mount Calvary Baptist Church in Greenville, SC – sample some of his sermons, tasting deeply of Christ in the word.)
One seminary president:
Kevin Bauder (who has an interest in almost any kind of question you would ask)
best wishes to you, Mogget
