| Summary: | The relationship between a fundamentalist theological stance and other value positions held by Protestant seminarians is explored in this study. Self-identified fundamentalists within three denominations were compared with (a) their classmates who at no time regarded themselves as fundamentalists and (b) their classmates who had changed their position from fundamentalism to a different stance. It was hypothesized that the "persisting" fundamentalists, in contrast to other seminarians, would be more "charismatic" in their conception of the minister's role; more "devotionalistic" in religiosity; more likely to have based their career decision upon a religious experience; and less likely to stress ethicalism and a mastery of technical professional skills. It was also hypothesized that self-identified fundamentalists would be less frequently found among third-year than first-year seminarians. The hypotheses were moderately supported by the data. |
