{"product_id":"fundamentalism-james-barr-9781532676727","title":"Fundamentalism","description":"Much of the Christianity which flourishes best today has \"\"conservative\"\" or \"\"fundamentalist\"\" characteristics, that is, strong emphasis on the correctness of the Bible, hostility to the methods of modern critical theology and an assurance that those who choose to differ are not really \"\"true Christians\"\" at all. In this penetrating critique Professor Barr first argues that the nature of fundamentalism is often misunderstood and that the general understanding of the way in which biblical conservatism works needs to be improved and corrected. Secondly, however, he seeks to dissuade those who are attracted by it, arguing that the conservative position is not only incoherent as a scholarly position but thoroughly in contradiction, theologically, with the central logic of Christian faith. Biblical scholarship and theology, he believes, have much to learn from the discussion. While it is right to repudiate a fundamentalist approach, the reasons advanced for this rejection have often been unsound, and these unsound arguments have damaged both modern biblical criticism and modern theology. Both conservative evangelical and more liberal scholars are likely to study what he has to say with unusual avidity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Barr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1532676727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781532676727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wipf \u0026amp; Stock Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/29\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"James Barr","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124600336639,"sku":"9781532676727","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_37e5a2e0-35a2-4137-8879-d08bee8062c4.jpg?v=1687437737","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fundamentalism-james-barr-9781532676727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
