That wasn’t their world. Their formative influences took place outside the Southern milieu."</i><br /><br />Extremely interesting thesis.<br /><br />What would also be interesting is to extrapolate your thesis and see if similar cultural-geographical factors have been strong influences in schisms throughout church history. I.e., the the Western Church and the Eastern Church (1054 A.D.), etc. And what regional schisms/divisions are lurking today, and possibly in the future.Truth Unites... and Divideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891402278361538353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-21439664535633158182013-02-10T18:35:15.173-05:002013-02-10T18:35:15.173-05:00I believe that I struck out here with a penalty.

I ...No, the movement didn't begin in the 1910s. I used the Fundamentals to illustrate a time when Fundamentalism was more international, interdenominational, and ecumenical than it was during the time of the fundamentalist/neo-evangelical split. <br /><br />No, I didn't say they became more isolated as a result of the break up. Rather, I said the break up was probably the result of regional differences. That's a precipitating cause of the split, not an effect of the split. <br /><br />And I'm not discussing the current situation. As far as that goes, contemporary fundamentalists/dispensationalists are clearly competitive, academically and demographically, with non-dispensational evangelicals. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-38225347477201339622013-02-10T17:47:53.366-05:002013-02-10T17:47:53.366-05:00If I may try again, are you saying that the fundam...If I may try again, are you saying that the fundamentalists begun during the 1910s with the publication of the Fundamentals? And were they an intelectual group as well as internationalist in outlook at the time? And then have the fundamentalists become geographically isolated by their break from the neo-evangelicals? Do I understand your claim correctly now?Vytautashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563655929016752682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-62905187831017726332013-02-10T17:36:38.378-05:002013-02-10T17:36:38.378-05:00I must have read more into your words than what wa...I must have read more into your words than what was there to begin with.

As I made clear, I'm discussing the situation at the time of the fundamentalist/neo-evangelical split. <br /><br />Moreover, I didn't say that neo-evangelicals were more intellectual than their fundamentalist counterparts. In fact, I said just the opposite. stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-10244854804534923722013-02-10T17:07:20.271-05:002013-02-10T17:07:20.271-05:00So neo-evangelicals have been geographicaly divide...So neo-evangelicals have been geographicaly divided since the 1940s from the fundamentalists, who are influenced by Southern culture. You implied that neo-evangelicals are more internationalist and intellectual than their fundamentalist counterparts. With the advent of popular internetworks, how will the fundamentalists fare in the brave new world?Vytautashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563655929016752682noreply@blogger.com
