Liberalism and Fundamentalism
Church HistorySteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg explores the emergence of liberalism and fundamentalism in Christianity during the 19th century. He suggests that liberalism arose as a response to societal changes brought about by the industrial revolution and advancements in science, leading many to question the Bible's authority. The rise of higher criticism and the work of Julius Wellhausen helped to establish liberal Christianity as a dominant force in some church circles. However, Gregg notes that fundamentalism also emerged in response to liberalism, emphasizing adherence to biblical teachings and rejecting liberal views.
