  • PRESBYTERIANISM in AMERICA the 20 Century
    WRS Journal 13:2 (August 2006) 26-43 PRESBYTERIANISM IN AMERICA The 20th Century John A. Battle The final third century of Presbyterianism in America has witnessed the collapse of the mainline Presbyterian churches into liberalism and decline, the emergence of a number of smaller, conservative denominations and agencies, and a renewed interest in Reformed theology throughout the evangelical world. The history of Presbyterianism in the twentieth century is very complex, with certain themes running through the entire century along with new and radical developments. Looking back over the last hundred years from a biblical perspective, one can see three major periods, characterized by different stages of development or decline. The entire period begins with the Presbyterian Church being overwhelmingly conservative, and united theologically, and ends with the same church being largely liberal and fragmented, with several conservative defections. I have chosen two dates during the century as marking these watershed changes in the Presbyterian Church: (1) the issuing of the 1934 mandate requiring J. Gresham Machen and others to support the church’s official Board of Foreign Missions, and (2) the adoption of the Confession of 1967. The Presbyterian Church moves to a new gospel (1900-1934) At the beginning of the century When the twentieth century opened, the Presbyterians in America were largely contained in the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. (PCUSA, the Northern church) and the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. (PCUS, the Southern church). There were a few smaller Presbyterian denominations, such as the pro-Arminian Cumberland Presbyterian Church and several Scottish Presbyterian bodies, including the United Presbyterian Church of North America and various other branches of the older Associate and Reformed Presbyteries and Synods.

  • The Fundamentals of Judaism
    J _Orient_05 06.2.1 4:54 PM ページ 138 The Fundamentals of Judaism Steven E. Langnas Israel—The People HE expressions Hebrew, Israeli, and Jew have often been used inter- Tchangeably and as synonyms. The Bible calls Abraham Ibri, Hebrew, meaning “from the other side,” probably because he immigrat- ed from the other, eastern side of Euphrates. Abraham’s grandchild Jacob had an additional name, Israel. Therefore, his twelve sons and their descendents were called Children of Israel, the nation or people of Israel. The word Jew comes from Judah, the most prominent of Jacob’s sons. Jew became the name for the entire people who, in the Judean kingdom, survived the downfall of the northern kingdom of Israel in 722 before the Common Era, while Israel’s ten tribes were led into captivity. Nowadays for that reason, the people are called Jewish, their belief Judaism, their language Hebrew and their country Israel. The people of Israel started as one family, descending from Abraham the Hebrew, who lived ca. 3800 years ago. The monotheistic belief represented by Abraham and the “covenant with God” he concluded, continually renewed by these descendents, characterized this family as followers of a special faith. The family did not impose any exclu- sive claims to this faith—quite the opposite—it also tried to include those of different beliefs. This family, suffused with God, and those who joined them increased in numbers. They viewed the Torah as their Basic Law received from God and appropriated the country promised them by the Lord as their homeland.

  • Fundamentalism and the Church Of
    I The Aim of this Book WHAT IS Fundamentalism? It is described in the Oxford English Dictionary (Supplement, 1933) as ‘a religious Movement which became active among various Protestant bodies in the United States after the war of 1914-18, based on strict adherence to traditional orthodox tenets (e.g. the literal inerrancy of Scripture) held to be fundamental to the Christian faith: opposed to liberalism and modernism.’ The Concise Oxford Dic- tionary attempts a definition: ‘the maintenance, in opposition to modern- Fundamentalism ism, of traditional orthodox beliefs such as the inerrancy of Scripture and and the literal acceptance of the creeds as fundamentals of Protestant Christian- Church of God ity.’ The word had certainly come into use in the United States by the year 1920. In The Christian Graduate (I.V.F., London) for March 1955, GABRIEL HEBERT, D.D. Dr Douglas Johnson gives an account of its origin, and says that it was probably coined by the editor of the New York Watchman-Examiner, who in his editorial for July 1st, 1920 describes as ‘fundamentalists’ those ‘who mean to do battle royal for the fundamentals’. As he goes on to show, the term ‘the fundamentals’ had been made familiar by a series of booklets which had been issued between 1909 and 1915. He gives an © Society of the Sacred Mission (Australia) interesting short summary of these, and I shall give in Chapter II an account of them in the context in which they appeared. For a time the term ‘Fundamentalism’ seems to have been accepted Reproduced by courtesy of the Society of the Sacred Mission.

It is not in any sense an attack upon systems which differ from the Presbyterian, but it is an avowed defense of the latter. In this strenuous age which tolerates only short sermons, necessarily devoted almost exclusively to Evangelism and Mis- sions, there is neither time, patience nor opportunity for instruction in the doctrinal principles, which are the fundamental basis of faith, and which contribute materially to the development of intel- ligent Christian character.

  • Are Calvinists Saved? Our Most Frequently Asked Question
    ARE CALVINISTS SAVED? OUR MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION 2 Corinthians 11:4 (KJV) 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. www.beyondthefundamentals.com AGENDA • Approach to this topic • False doctrine and false teachers • Calvinism has no Gospel • Gospel means “good news” • Election is only good news in Calvinism • Basis of Calvinist Salvation Assurance • Conversion Experience (evanescent grace) • Witness of The Spirit • Works and perseverance • Calvinistic Election occurs outside Christ • Calvinism is not Christianity First, I want to make it perfectly clear that we would never presume to be able to possess the ability to pronounce the salvation status of specific individuals. Nor would this particular topic originate on the lesson agenda if it were not asked with such frequency. What happens is that we cover the gospel, the scripture, and scriptural authority, and upon simple examination, people are putting two and two together, and they realize that Calvinism is at complete odds with the Gospel with scripture, with the God of scripture, and with the Jesus of scripture. So at what point does someone vary from other Christians in a way that is inconsequential, to the point where they cross the line into a real that is frankly, unchristian. That is the unavoidable question that surfaces when examining the Neo- gnostic system we call Calvinism. This is always a question that comes up when dealing with groups such as Jehovah’s witnesses or Mormons.

  • Darwinism, Fundamentalism, and R. A. Torrey Michael N
    Article Darwinism, Fundamentalism, and R. A. Torrey Michael N. Keas Michael N. Keas R. A. Torrey (1856–1928), a leading world evangelist at the turn of the twentieth century, played a prominent role in the emergence of fundamentalism, which aimed to defend Christianity against liberalism. The writers of The Fundamentals (1910–1915), including Torrey, proposed harmony between science and Chris- tianity by accepting the standard geological ages and by offering some criticisms of Darwinism. Torrey advanced the work of The Fundamentals beyond 1915 through the monthly periodical of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, The King’s Business (1910–1970). Although Torrey offered occasional criticism of Darwinism in The King’s Business and his other publications, he urged evangelicals and fundamentalists to focus on biblical inerrancy and a repudiation of naturalism more broadly. There is much to be emulated from early fundamentalism before it flung itself into the humiliation of the 1925 Scopes trial—a disastrous move that Torrey did not support. R. A. Torrey is worth remembering in 2010, the centennial year of The Fundamentals. istorical and philosophical The Bible Institute of Los Angeles H analysis of science and religion (hereafter, Biola) played a prominent role can improve our understand- in the emergence of fundamentalism in ing of how science and religion have the early twentieth century, particularly related and how they should relate. through the work of R.
