In the modern industrialized society, there were rampant ideological developments that came to lay siege to Christianity.

In the West, these adherents to heretical teachings came from many sides and attacked the very religion that had created their society.

Darwin’s Theory of Evolution denied the accuracy of the first 11 chapters of Genesis and therefore compromised the central purpose for the First Coming of Christ.

Scholastic ideas such as Minimalism and the Higher Criticism denied the historical accounts of the Old Testament.

Intellectuals such as Sigmund Freud believed that religion was an archaic entity and the greatest threat to human logic.

Not even the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth withstood assault, as the 19th century saw some scholars claim that the Central Figure of Christianity was nothing more than a compilation of pagan myths.

Movements such as Socialism and Marxism, as well as Secular Humanism, flatly denied any value to organized religion and their chief target was the largest religion itself, Christianity.

As intellectuals from various fields and theories arose, the social climate took advantage and ushered forth immense degrees of permissiveness, eventually leading to the decriminalization of adultery, frivolous divorce, abortion-on-demand, gambling and homosexuality and the softening of punishments for rape, child molestation, and infanticide.

Secularism, a movement that believes that even extremely esoteric religious references on government property are a grim violation of the US Constitution, gained political prowess and is lobbied for by scores of organizations.

As Christian Civilization continued and continues on its route of apostasy, in the East things remain troublesome. Moslem States stretching from Egypt and Saudi Arabia to Pakistan and Indonesia have sporadic outbreaks of violence upon Christian minorities.

In East Asia, Hindus and Buddhists do their utmost to suppress growing Christian communities, at times resorting to domestic terrorism.

Worst of all, another area of crisis are the Institutional Churches themselves. Many clergy lead their flocks astray with false gospels and do so with impunity. Many sects are denying the Truth of the Bible, the Godhood of Jesus, and at the same time are open to the belief that salvation can be found outside of Christianity.

Into this situation, where heresy makes leaps and bounds in many churches and Western society continues in its moral downturn, came Fundamentalism.

Fundamentalism is named in honor of the Fundamentals, a multi-volume work defending the basic truths of Christianity. These Fundamental beliefs include:

1. The Infallibility of the Old and New Testaments.

2. The Virgin Birth of Christ.

3. The All-Sufficient Atonement found in His Sacrifice on the Cross.

4. The Bodily Resurrection of Christ.

5. And His Eventual Second Coming.

Fundamentalism is a Reactionary Movement in the sense that it is in reaction to the prevailing and disturbing trends found in modern society, government, churches, and abroad.

Its full purpose is to reinvigorate the Doctrines that have been the Message of Christianity since its inception. This is a Movement that is supposed to preach the Gospel Truth and nothing less than that.

The Central Message of this Movement should be clear: the Holy Bible is the Final Authority on all matters that it touches upon, including the afterlife, law, government, social mores, science, faith, and daily living.

Although attacked on all sides by Secular Humanists, Social liberals, Blogs, Politicians, Political Activists, Special Interest Groups, virtually all forms of media, and even fellow Christians Fundamentalism remains one of the most successful ideological movements of the 20th century.

With God’s Blessing, it shall be the most successful ideological movement of this century.
