Changes

In the 1870s, [[Dwight L. Moody]]'s evangelical tours attracted enormous crowds. Moody denounced [[modernism]] and Darwin's theory of evolution. He founded the [[Moody Bible Institute]] to teach [[Biblical inerrancy|inerrancy of scripture]]. The term "fundamentalism" was popularized by a series of pamphlets published in 1910 to 1915. Led by former baseball player [[Billy Sunday]] (1862-1935) and later by U.S. Senator [[William Jennings Bryan]] (1860-1925), the movement achieved great prominence. Yet in the 1930s, it all but disappeared. In the late 1940s, there was a revival led by [[Billy Graham]] (1918-2018).

At this time, the terms "evangelical" and "fundamentalist" were used interchangeably. Around 1956, Graham began to extend fellowship to Catholics and to modernists. A group of pastors led by [[John R. Rice]] (1895-1980) and Bob Jones (1911 – 1997) objected. Graham rebranded himself as an evangelical, yielding the "fundamentalist" label to Rice and Jones, who would become major figures in the [[Independent Baptist]] movement.

In the late 1970s, [[Jerry Falwell]], Rice's designated successor, dropped the objection to fellowship with Catholics to form the "Religious Right," a coalition of politically conservative Protestants and Catholics. Under Falwell, fundamentalists reentered American politics as conservatives. Falwell joined the Southern Baptist Convention in 1996, thus rebranding himself as an evangelical. Bob Jones retired in 2005. His son Stephen Jones reoriented Bob Jones University as a conventional, accredited Christian school. In recent years, the movement has lacked notable leadership.

The views of many of the greatest scientists and mathematicians were within the meaning of fundamentalism, including [[Isaac Newton]] and [[Bernard Riemann]].
