Article on Evangelicalism: Link from Pomo

Pomo Christian (no that's not the title of Tim's novel) links to this article attempting to describe/defend Evangelicalism to the general misinformed populace.

What do you think?

I wonder if it's accurate that the difference between Fundamentalism (i.e. the actual movement of that name in the 20th century) and Evangelicalism (having existed for much longer, though not necessarily under that name) is the former's emphasis on Separatism.

Otherwise, their doctinal differences (such as they are) might truly appear minute to the observer. I should try and find a copy of the original "Fundamentals" tracts or books or whatever. I think there were 20. It may be that, for instance, Pre-Mill eschatology was one of them and 6 24 hour days of Creation.

In any case, it probably is not fair of Evangelicals to totally disown Fundamentalists, who are arguably a subset of Evangelicalism.
