| Summary: | "In Mainstreaming Fundamentalism, Keith Bates tells the story of John R. Rice (1895-1980), an understudied force in postwar American fundamentalism whose career intersected with those of J. Frank Norris, Bob Jones Sr., Bob Jones Jr., and Jerry Falwell. Bates uses primary source texts from Rice's contemporaries and Rice's own Sword of the Lord articles and private papers to explore the theme of Southern fundamentalism's public reemergence through a biographical lens. John R. Rice's mission to inspire a broad cultural activism within fundamentalism-particularly by opposing those who fostered an isolationist climate-would give direction and impetus to the movement for the rest of the twentieth century. The work will be of interest to scholars and students of postwar American fundamentalism, Southern fundamentalism, and Rice's contemporaries"-- |
