From Mark:

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF A FUNDAMENTALIST

… quoting from James Barr’s book “Fundamentalism” on the three distinguishing features of the Fundamentalist:

‘Firstly, a fundamentalist has a very strong emphasis on the inerrancy of the Bible, and believes in the absence from it of any sort of error.

Two, a strong hostility to modern theology and to the methods, results and implications of modern critical study of the Bible.

And three, an assurance that those who do not share their religious viewpoint are not really true Christians at all.’
