Changes

'''Fundamentalism''', as a religious movement, began in the early 20th century. Many [[Evangelical Christians]], including [[Southern Baptist Convention|Southern Baptists]], have adopted its principled political positions and key theological elements. The name comes from a series of pamphlets entitled ''The Fundamentals'' (1910-1915). It is a tendency found in numerous churches, but it is not an organized movement and has no national body or universally agreed-upon statement. By extension, scholars have identified fundamentalist tendencies in non-Christian religions. The word is often used by [[liberals]] as a pejorative term directed against any [[conservative]] movement within Protestant Christianity.

'''Fundamentalism''' was a movement among Christians in the United States that began in the late 19th century. It was a backlash against Modernism, which the Fundamentalists accused of denying such Christian doctrines such as virgin birth and the inerrantcy of Scripture. The name comes from a series of pamphlets entitled ''The Fundamentals'' that were published between 1910 and 1915.<ref>"[http://www.wheaton.edu/isae/defining-evangelicalism/fundamentalism Fundamentalism]”, Institute for the Study of American Evangelicals</ref> The movement is associated with the 1925 [[Scopes Trial]], which concerned the issue of evolution. The movement suffered a decline in the 1930s. In 1942, the National Evangelical Association was founded to coordinate activity. [[Billy Graham]]’s highly publicized outreach popularized the use of the word “evangelical” to refer to the mainstream of the movement. Since the 1970s, it has been the practice of the media to label a diverse collection of religious factions as "fundamentalist." The best known of these is the conservative faction of the [[Southern Baptist Convention|Southern Baptists]].<ref>Houghton, George, [http://sharperiron.org/are-conservative-southern-baptists-fundamentalists Are Conservative Southern Baptists Fundamentalists? ], SharperIron.<br/>The 1925 version of the “[http://www.sbc.net/bfm/bfmcomparison.asp Baptist Faith and Message]" affirms “Christian fundamentals," but there is no equivalent affirmation in the current statement.</ref> Few contemporary groups accept the label.
