The term is derived from ''The Fundamentals: A Testimony to the Truth''. This was a series of twelve pamphlets published between 1910 and 1915 that critiqued Modernist interpretations of Scripture. The movement was generally called "evangelism" until 1919, when the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association was formed.

By the late 1920s, the first three points had become central to Fundamentalism. Thanks to sponsorship, over three million volumes were distributed free to clergy, laymen, missionaries, and libraries. The leaders of the movement founded the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association in 1919. The term "fundamentalism" was coined by Baptist editor Curtis Lee Laws in 1920 to designate Christians who were ready "to do battle royal for the fundamentals."

Much of the enthusiasm for mobilizing Fundamentalism came from Bible colleges, especially those modeled after the [[Moody Bible Institute]] in Chicago. The Bible colleges prepared ministers who lacked college or seminary experience with intense study of the Bible, often using the ''Scofield Reference Bible'' of 1909, which had detailed notes explaining how to interpret Dispensationalist passages.
