How the Fundamentalist-Modernist Controversy Still Shapes Evangelicalism Today
Sunday, 29 March, 2026
Why does the evangelical church have so little influence on culture today? To get to that answer, we must understand the last 120 years of American Protestant history, back to the fundamentalist-modernist controversy of the late 1800s/early 1900s. In this powerful conversation on the Ideas Have Consequences podcast, Scott D. Allen and I walk you through the history that shaped modern evangelicalism. This is a call for renewal, not retreat or cultural accommodation. My hope is that leaders will return to a distinctly biblical approach to culture, education, justice, and discipleship. This is essential history for anyone who wants to understand progressive Christianity, deconstruction, and doctrinal drift in evangelical institutions. Learn how we got here and what it will take to chart a better way forward. 👉 Recommended: The episode that inspired this discussion: “Biola’s Founders Fought Modernism. Will Today’s Leaders Fight Postmodernism?” 👉 Recommended: My podcast series, "The Biola Chronicles"
