When persons tell the truth, they are at ease. When they are lying they go back in their mind to make up situations, which causes them to tense.
Revive Us Again Reawakening Fundamentalism
By the end of the 1920s, fundamentalism in America was intellectually bankrupt and publicly disgraced. Bitterly humiliated by the widely known and esteemed Scopes “monkey trial,” this once valued motion retreated from the public forum and seemed doomed to extinction. Yet fundamentalism not only survived, but in the 1940s it reemerged as a thriving and influential public movement. And today it is out of the question to read a newspaper or watch cable TV without seeing the presence of fundamentalism in American society. In Revive Us Again, Joel A. Carpenter illuminates this remarkable transformation, exploring the history of American fundamentalism from 1925 to 1950, the years when, to non-fundamentalists, the motion seemed invisible.
Skillfully blending painstaking research, telling anecdotes, and astute analysis, Carpenter–a scholar who has expended twenty years studying American evangelicalism–brings this era into focus for the introductory time. He reveals that, contrary to the ordinary sentiment of the day, fundamentalism was alive and well in America in the late 1920s, and applied it is isolation over the next two decades to build new strength from within. The book describes how fundamentalists devised a pervasive network of organizations outside of the church setting and quietly strengthened the motion by creating their own schools and organizations, galore of which are prominent today, including Fuller Theological Seminary and the publishing and radio endeavors of the Moody Bible Institute. Fundamentalists likewise applied youth movements and missionary work and, perhaps most significantly, exploited the burgeoning mass media industry to disseminate their message, in particular through the powerful new medium of radio. Indeed, starting locally and growing to national broadcasts, evangelical preachers reached millions of listeners over the airwaves, in much the same way evangelists preach through television today. All this action received no advertizing outside of fundamentalist channels until Billy Graham burst on the scene in 1949. Carpenter vividly recounts how the charismatic preacher begun packing stadiums with tens of thousands of listeners daily, drawing fundamentalism with resolute determination back into the American cognizance after twenty years of public indifference.
Alongside this vibrant history, Carpenter likewise offers numerous perceptivenesses into fundamentalism for the duration of this period, and he describes numerous of the heated internal argues over issues of scholarship, separatism, and the role of women in leadership. Perhaps most important, he shows that the motion has never been stagnant or rigorously reactionary. It is based on an evolving ideology subject to debate, and dissension: a theology that adapts to altering times.
Revive Us Again is more than an enlightening history of fundamentalism. Through his reasoned, goal to be attained approach to a topic that is all too often scaled down to caricature, Carpenter brings fresh clear or deep perception into the continuing influence of the fundamentalist motion in modern America,and it is role in shaping the general evangelical movements of today.
From Library JournalCarpenter (provost, Calvin Coll., Mich.) acknowledges that he was propelled by a “corrective motive” in writing when it comes to the complexity and contributions of fundamentalism as a faith system whose intents and beliefs have all too often been scaled down to caricature. To a big extent, he achieves his aim. He closely analyzes American fundamentalism from it is humiliating encounter with modernism at the Scopes trial in the 1920s to it is reemergence in the standard revivals of the 1940s and 1950s led by evangelists such as Billy Graham. Carpenter is careful to note subtle differences in meaning or opinion or attitude of theological divergence within fundamentalism. His work is exhaustively documented, well written, and built solidly on the work of other historians of U.S. popular religion such as Ernest Sandeen (The Roots of Fundamentalism, 1970) and George Marsden (Fundamentalism and American Culture, 1971). Appropriate for academic collections in religion and in American history.?Linda V. Carlisle, Southern Illinois Univ., Edwardsville

From Kirkus ReviewsIn 1925, H.L. Mencken scoffed that if he heaved an egg out of a Pullman window anyplace in the country, he would hit a fundamentalist. But by 1930, discomfited by their public humiliation in the Scopes “monkey trial,” those same fundamentalists seemed to have disappeared. Or had they? In this groundbreaking new book, historian Carpenter, provost of Calvin College, argues that fundamentalists did not vanish in the 1930s and ’40s–they went underground and built a distinguishable and powerful subculture, with Bible schools, alien mission societies, seminaries, camp meetings, and mom-and-pop publishing houses. Carpenter traces the vitality of the fundamentalist motion from 1925 to 1950, arguing that fundamentalism actually expanded for the duration of the ’30s, when mainline Protestants were experiencing a precipitous decline. What’s more, these militantly antimodern crusaders eagerly embraced the most cutting-edge of mediums, radio, to proclaim their old-time gospel message. Radio evangelists like Paul Rader and Charles Fuller gave fundamentalists a respectability they had coveted since Mencken’s hurtful depictions of them as ignorant backwater bumpkins. Radio was fundamentalism’s entry into galore American homes. In the 1940s, the highly successful Youth for Christ motion built on this media-savvy precedent, profiting mass appeal with slick promotion campaigns and evangelists be-bopping from the pulpit to contemporary big-band tunes. So when the nation as a whole started out turning to religion in the anxious days of WW II and it is aftermath, fundamentalists were at the ready with their well-established infrastructure. The “prophet” who arose from this fundamentalist subculture and was a product of it is Bible schools, radio ministries, and revival circuits was the legendary Billy Graham, who helped fetch fundamentalism further into the American mainstream. A priceless contribution to a critical but neglected era in fundamentalist studies. — Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

 Great book for the severe enthusiast!
By A
The book is when it comes to Protestant fundamentalism’s “recovery” after it is defeats in the 1920s. Carpenter tells the story of the movement’s alienation and loss of status in the 1920s, it is establishment building in the 1930s and 40s, and it is recovery the late 1940s. Among other themes, he discusses the how the motion wrestled with separatism and accommodation within the denominations and in the broader culture. This is not a ordinary history of the movement. To illumine the development of key characters, theological positions and institutions, Carpenter goes into a level of detail that might overwhelm the casual inquirer.

 Why do fundamentalists still have an influence?
By Angela M. Hey
Lest you think fundamentalism was the faith of your Victorian great-grandparents or something only hill-billies believe, think again and read this book. It is a history of fundamentalism in the 1930s and 1940s in the USA.
