Fuller Theological Seminary-David Allan Hubbard Library Archives Acquisition Information Institutional Record Retention Program from the FTS School of Theology Dean’s Office Biography/Administrative History From Fall 1947-Spring 1965, Fuller Seminary’s academic programs were administered under the Dean of Administration, later designated “Dean of the Faculty” (in 1955). Thus, the “Dean Files” from 1947-1965 contains papers related to the general operation of the overall Seminary and theological programs. Fuller Seminary opened with a single degree offering, the Bachelor of Divinity (B.D.). Fuller Seminary inaugurated its Graduate School of Theology during the 1950-1951 school year, when students wishing to pursue studies beyond the Bachelor of Divinity were enrolled. In 1965, the School of Psychology and the School of Intercultural Studies opened, requiring an individual Dean to administer each School. Thus, the original “Dean’s Office” (1947-1965) became the Dean’s Office of the School of Theology. On July 1, 2019, the SOT Dean’s office merged with the SIS Dean’s office under the leadership of Dr. Amos Yong. Harold Lindsell was a founding member of the Seminary, beginning as Registrar in 1947. He also taught Church History and Missions Orientation. Lindsell served as Dean of the Faculty from 1948-1963. Daniel Payton Fuller had many and varied roles at the Seminary through the years, including student, teaching fellow, and Dean. He served as a faculty member until 2000.

  • Biblical Inerrancy
    MODERNISM – FUNDAMENTALISM – NEW EVANGELICALISM AND BIBLICAL INERRANCY The purpose of this paper is to give a partial history of the age-old battle for the Bible. My prayer is that we settle two major truths in our hearts and minds: the sufficiency of God’s Word, and the sufficiency of the Holy Spirit to empower all who share belief in the verbal inspiration, infallibility, and inerrancy of God’s Word. The word inerrancy is used repeatedly in this paper for clarity. The word infallibility is used by some to define limited inerrancy. Dr. Harold Lindsell's book, "The Battle for the Bible," holds to this strong view of Biblical inerrancy as the watershed issue in the evangelical world. Throughout the history of mankind, we have had two major lines of development. One has followed man’s way in what we might call the wisdom of this world or the way of the natural man. The other major line of development is God’s way, which follows after the revealed wisdom of God’s inerrant Word, and this is the way of the spiritual man. THE BEGINNINGS OF THEOLOGICAL MODERNISM Theological modernism (or liberalism) had its origin in Europe, particularly in Germany, in the 19th century and was merely the rationalistic thinking of that time applied to the Bible. It was the dawn of the scientific era. Many men felt they were on the verge of discovering the secrets of the universe and solving the problems of mankind. Anti-Christian thinkers such as Darwin, Hegel, and Marx led the movement to dethrone God and replace Him with scientific humanism.

  • Paul Smith Book Review
    NEW EVANGELICALISM: A REVIEW Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice Paul Smith, the younger brother of Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel fame, has written an important new book entitled, New Evangelicalism: The New World Order.1 In this book, Smith identifies the snares that threaten to destroy the effectiveness of Bible- believing, gospel preaching, Bible teaching churches, like those within his own Calvary Chapel movement. New Evangelicalism traces the roots for the last hundred years that lurk on the horizon and threaten biblical churches today, by demonstrating how too many evangelicals have already swallowed the poison. Smith not only exposes the problem, which is abandonment of the inerrancy of Scripture, but what the solution is and how it can revive our evangelical churches. ORIGINS OF THE PROBLEM Peter Drucker, the management guru, is identified as the key player that influenced the rise of the church growth movement at Fuller Seminary, which lead to many anti- gospel influences within evangelicalism. Smith demonstrates historically that the existential philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard influenced Drucker leading to his pragmatic theory and approach to community and the church’s role in his ideal community. Karl Barth, the famous Swiss neo-orthodox theologian, also drank heavily of Kierkegaard, who in turn captivated Daniel Fuller, the son of Charles Fuller who founded Fuller Seminary in 1947. Even though Fuller Seminary in Pasadena, California got off to a good start, by the 1960s the Seminary had abandoned inerrancy and started down the slippery slope to modern liberalism. Smith notes that former Fuller faculty member Harold Lindsell documented the Seminary’s demise and abandonment of inerrancy in his famous book entitled, The Battle for the Bible in 1976.2 Smith provides much more extensive detail of the philosophical and historical backgrounds leading up to the rapid theological demise of Fuller Seminary, which sets the stage for why that school has been at the epicenter of many of the influences that plagued evangelicalism for the last three decades.
