Book Description

April 5, 1995
A sequel and companion to the author's widely acclaimed Fundamentalism and American Culture, this book uses the history of Fuller Theological Seminary — a durable evangelical institution — as a lens through which to focus an examination of the broader story of evangelicalism and fundamentalism since the 1940s. Marsden's detailed history relies heavily on primary sources, and his careful attention to the surrounding worlds of mainline denominations and stricter fundamentalism makes this book a major contribution to the study of a movement that has played an important role in shaping American culture.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Marsden's purpose is to show that the history of Fuller (founded 1947) clarifies the evangelical movement it was designed to serve. A risky undertaking for most authors, but Marsden convinces us that Fuller's origins in the fundamentalist-modernist debate, its movement from separatism to engagement with mainline Protestantism, and its attempt to define biblical inspiration in a critical age combine to make it a microcosm of contemporary evangelicalism. Inevitably, the focus on Fuller downplays other individuals and institutions that have "reformed" fundamentalism. But overall, Marsden makes his case. John R. Muether, Westminster Theological Seminary Lib., Philadelphia

5.0 out of 5 stars FASCINATING INSTITUTIONAL HISTORY, June 27, 2007
By 
Ruth A. Tucker (Grand Rapids, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A history of an organizations is often boring--filled with facts and figures and just plain puff. This breaks all the rules. It goes far beyond Fuller Theological Seminary, to catch the trade winds of the broader evangelical/fundamentalist movement. And, it's anything but a puff piece. It captures wonderful behind-the-scenes stories and scandals that no one before dared tell. It's a book that will never be dated---though Fuller Seminary continues on in the twenty-first century stronger than ever. I hope Marsden will one day put his pen to the task of historical analysis of Calvin Theological Seminary, including the pain and controversy I endured ("My Calvin Seminary Story"). Perhaps his ties to the Christian Reformed Church are too close for him to ever do that.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This Book was a referral and it has lived up to it's expectations. it is brutally truthful and puts names to the instigators of liberalism that has crept into many bible believing colleges in the US. For over a century Godly men have battled to teach Gods word unadulterated in Bible colleges across the USA, The battle heats up when Godly men seeks wordly accreditation standards and Bible truth at the same time. Any person wanting to consider a Bible college future should read this book first. The tough question you will have to ask after reading it in considering a Bible College is is do you want to please men or God.

This review is from: Reforming Fundamentalism: Fuller Seminary and the New Evangelicalism (Paperback)
Very detailed description and full of execellent insight!
This book deals with the first twenty five years of Fuller Theological Seminary.Readers can grasp of all process of how fundamentalism was changed and collasped theologically and spiritually through the history of Fuller.
This book is also a book dealing with fascinating fundamentalists, narrowlly the founders of Fuller. These men led the mainstream of the history of American fundamentalism according to their aspiration.
Very Strongly recommanded!
