Davie 9, 10

Christian fundamentalism began as a movement from the late 1800s,which was a response to liberalism and the teachings of Darwin.As fundamentalist grew in power and popularity,problems arose with the people who held more individualized and liberal interpretations of the scripture.The fundamentalist rejected those individuals who didni't have the same practices.Many people in society today still describe fundamentalist as evil or racist.The evangelical movement arose from the Protestant reformation,which focused on personal salvation instead of old rituals !Evangelicalism focuses on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross,the Bible as the leading authority,activism ,and conversionism.Historically both fundamentalism and evangelicalism started out similar in beliefs and practices.However their has been many re definitions.Fundamentalist are known to practice more historical doctrine activities,while evangelicalism is know for promoting preaching of the gospel and living holy lives.

Fundamentalism means beliefs upheld in a strict fashion straight from the interpretation of the scripture of whatever religion you’re dealing with, usually Christianity. Evangelicalism is spreading Christian gospel by public speaking. These two are different because evangelicalism focuses more on the spiritual aspects of religion. In those preaching sessions people get excited to believe and to serve God and they are there for motivation and spiritual uplift. Fundamentalism is just following the scriptures as written and trying to perfect the way you perform whats asked. This accounts for the different ways people like to be religious and serve God. Some people would rather follow scriptures or identify with a religion, and some people want to feel the passion and attain unity from people around them with the same belief. It helps people be religious knowing there’s different ways to participate, ways that fit their individual needs.

"Fundamentalism is just following the scriptures as written and trying to perfect the way you perform whats asked. "
Hey! What did you mean by "perfect the way you perform what's asked ?"

Fundamentalism in regards to religion is a strict adherence to a belief system, it often referred too any religious groups holding strict radical views. It's attempt is too return too the ideas of their tradition, therefore they believe that it is crucial and necessary to return and adhere to their tradition’s fundamentals because something specific, one example challenging the fundamentals of that person’s tradition.Evangelicalism on the other hand refers to preaching. These two are different because evangelicalism is geared more to engaging the spiritual conceptsof religion. Evangelicalism shares a devotion to the absolute and final authority of Scripture whereas fundamentalism you are following the scriptures as written and trying to adhere to all principles in a much more radical and precise way. Today in society Fundamentalism is often viewed as strict and demanding, while evangelicalism operates on more moderate level. Fundamentalism gives people a sense of belonging and also sense of identity within their faith as they adhere to most of their prinnciples and ideals in a precise manner, whereas other people (evangelicals) would prefer too understand scriptures to understand their religious beliefs together as a whole.

The differences between fundamentalism and evangelicalism are oftentimes difficult to understand from the outside. A lot of it is a style. Fundamentalists tend to be very strict and are more towards intolerance. They tend to be very, very critical of other Christians even other evangelical Christians who don't share their very strict approach to religion. But there are some other things besides style that differentiate fundamentalists from evangelicals. Evangelicals and fundamentalists both agree that the Bible is inerrant, but fundamentalists tend to read the Bible literally.

The difference between fundamentalism and evangelicalism is a matter of approach. The Fundamentalist approach is a reactionary movement within a religion which is concerned with what one could call theological drift or the move away from what is perceived as the core or traditional principles of a religious doctrine and the acceptance of more varied interpretations of religious texts. Inherent to this is a resistance to change and a clinging to the traditional politics of obligation that predominated older socio-religious orders and ties the faith to other in group-out group phenomenon such as Nationalism, Nativsim, etc. Evangelicalism on the other hand is concerned with the conversion of as many possible adherents to the faith as possible in an effort to expand the reach and influence of the church. They are less likely to appeal to a politics of obligation and more to one of consumerism to bring the greatest possible number of new converts.

This impacts the trends of in a global sense as Fundamentalist's tend to form small tight knit groups of "true believers", as the submission of followers to the authority of the sect is often paramount and the ties to the church are strictly policied, While Evangelicalism often spreads over wide areas as its accepting nature and its attempts to bring in larger groups of converts allows it to form networks of churches that share constituencies and interact with the larger socio-economic world to provide business and work opportunities as a result.

The term between evangelical and fundamentalist sometimes get confusing but they both mean two different things. Being a fundamentalists is someone that believes in the strict, literal meaning of the bible in a religion and for evangelicalism is the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching. Nonetheless, in the style of fundamentalists they often tend to be unproductive when it comes down to the mission of church as well as politics. While evangelicalism tend to move away from the strict style of fundamentalism and have a much wider range of political views.

Fundamentalism and evangelicalism shouldn't be described as different--because that implies they are two separate entities. Rather, I think it better to say that one encompasses the other. Like the russian matroshka dolls, There is a bigger and smaller. Evangelicalism is the broader group. It encompasses a much wider range of ideas, and also tends to be less cut and dry. For instance, both evangelicals and fundamentalists might agree that the bible is a true document, though fundamentalists might insist that the bible must be read in a literal context, whereas evangelicals might be more open to a more metaphorical interpretation. Fundamentalists are usually the smaller, more conservative group within the larger group.
Evangelicals have become a very large group in modern times because it allows more room for modernist approaches to religion. In this consumerist culture, people want religions that can mold to them--fundamentalism, because of its strict nature, doesn't allow individuals to do that. They cannot mold or bend truths that are believed to be absolute.

It seemed that Fundamentalists are more conservative in nature and view the bible quite literally. Their description of Jesus Christ, especially on his views are very strict.
Evangelists however seem to practice the power and soul of the bible and ancient teachings..without incorporating some of the more drastic ideas within them. Some Evangelists can be Fundamentalists but not all fundamentalists are evangelists - It also appears that the name fundamentalist itself can imply negative feelings and be associated with words such as "terrorist". Evangelical belief is definitely more popular now a days only because the religion can be interpreted by the reader directly rather than be told exactly how to feel.

Fundamentalists are typically associated with strict adherence to the bible and other religious scriptures, and holdfast to fundamental principles. Their core principles or fundamentals include the literal interpretation of the bible, the birth of Christ by a virgin, the belief that Jesus died on a cross to pay for worldly sins, and Christ's miracles. Evangelicalism does not deny these beliefs, however evangelists emphasize salvation more than fundamentalists do. It can be argued that evangelicalism holds a more liberal interpretation and practice of the bible. On a global scale, this divide can be observed in policy reform in different nations regarding laws that may conflict with fundamental Christian values. Fundamentalists may place more emphasis on restricting laws or regulations within their communities in accordance to the Bible's fundamental laws, while evangelists may place an emphasis on acceptance and bringing people closer to Christ without force. This can be just one example of how fundamentalists and evangelists differ.

Fundamentalism us a form of religion that upholds belief in the strict literal interpretation of scriptures. Fundamentalists generally believe in strict adherence to the Bible and usually hold the tendency to reduce a religion to its most fundamental tenets based off strict interpretation of core text, in other words religious tolerance. in similar fashion, Fundamentalism relates to another religious stand point in that being Evangelicalism. Evangelicalism tells us that the essence of the gospel consists in the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ's atonement.Evangelicals hold Bible teachings as more authoritative than church traditions.

I think there is no big differences between fundamentalism and evangelicalism. Most of the time it is very difficult to understand from outside. In my perspective, fundamentalists tend to be so strict in some ways. For instance, people want to require so many things from individuals. However, they are very critical of other Christians or other religions. But I think that evangelicals don't really read bibles. They believe that there is only poetry in the Bible. Fundamentalists would read poetry.

The difference that I understood between fundamentalism and evangelicalism is how they go about their religion and how they practice with others. Fundamentalism is more strict goes by the bible and only the bible. The person won’t be open to preach about their own experience or their belief in their own words, only what the bible says. The evangelicalism will be open to preach to people to motivate them about their struggles and problems with their own words, rewording a phrase in the bible maybe.
