Religiously, the early 1900's saw a revival of [[Pentecostalism]], as well as the rise of Evangelical Christian ''[[Fundamentalism]]'' as a distinct form. The latter was manifested in response to the growth of ''[[liberal Christianity]]'' and doctrinally labored to combat its move away from historical Christan faith, especially as concerned Christ and salvation, and strong emphasis upon personal morality. Liberal theology also placed primary emphasis on a [[social gospel]], and in its commendable commitment to uphold the primacy of basic doctrine, and tend to the spiritual needs of souls, opportunities to meet social needs of those without tended to be marginalized, an overreaction that some later recognized as an imbalance.<ref>Frank E.
