Great Book: "Fundamentalism versus Modernism" by my Grandfather, Eldred C Vanderlaan - a Study of Christian Religion

INTRODUCTION 

The controversy between the Fundamentalists and the 
Modernists in the Protestant churches presents certain 
difficulties for the expounder, mainly because the two 
parties to the debate are not clearly defined. Not all theo- 
logical conservatism can properly be called fundamen- 
talism. There are those who for themselves hold all the 
old doctrines, but who do not have the belligerent attitude 
toward other opinions which marks the group who call 
themselves Fundamentalists. There is also a large class 
of Christian leaders who go a little way with the Modern- 
ists on questions like the nature and proper use of the Bi- 
ble, who feel unable to take beliefs like the second coming 
of Christ with quite the old literalness, who might even 
admit a measure of errancy in the Bible in unimportant 
matters, but who stand firm on the old doctrines of the 
person and work of Christ. It is doubtful whether these 
can properly be called Modernists. The same men, for 
instance, may be found on the modernist side when it 
comes to belief in evolution, but on the conservative side 
when the question is the virgin birth or the bodily resur- 
rection of Christ. The question is also complicated by 
the fact that many of the Fundamentalists do not repre- 
sent the whole group of conservatives in that they are 
premillennarians (or premillennialists) . This is a formid- 
able word, but its meaning can be quite easily made 
clear. There is much mention in the New Testament of 
a second coming of Christ to this world, with manifes- 
tations of glory in contrast to the lowliness of his first 
appearance, In the last book of the New Testament, the 
Apocalypse or Revelation of St. John, there is also refer- 
ence to a future period of a thousand years when Christ 
shall reign on this earth and the powers of evil shall be...

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960.

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
