Description
Summary:THIS REVIEW ARTICLE outlines the contents of Fundamentalism and Evangelicals by Harriet Harris. It deals in particular with her account of a ‘fundamentalist mentality’ which, she says, has a widespread and powerful influence upon evangelicals. In response, it is proposed that commitment need not mean a deficiency in openness to criticism. It is also proposed that the theme of Reformed Epistemology that focuses on God speaking through the scriptures provides a way towards a more adequate view of the Bible and approach to apologetics than those which Harris criticises. The article concludes with some remarks on the significance of this discussion for thinking about education.
