Top 10 Stories Impacting Evangelicals and Fundamentalists in 2008

January 1, 2009 at 1:12 am · Filed under News-n-Views, Fundamentalism


What started as a fluke born partially out of boredom some five years ago has now turned into an annual tradition. Folks have been asking me right and left if I planned on continuing my annual list of the Top Ten Religion Stories from an Evangelical and Fundamentalist perspective this year. The answer is yes. However, before I give my thoughts, a couple of caveats and words of explanation.

First, I sometimes do two lists – one for evangelicals and one for fundamentalist Christians (for the record, many fundamentalists do not like being called “evangelicals” and vice versa though from a secular perspective, they are pretty much the same basic demographic group). This year, I’ll be back to one list combining stories of interest for both branches. Frankly, there just wasn’t that many “big” stories from either camp this year.

its a pretty interesting list that i think hit the nail on the head.

I like Dan's blog -- he's what I would call a historic fundamentalist who is not a modern Fundamentalist. I'm not sure the Bob Jones story mattered that much to many evangelicals, but otherwise I agree with his list.

For whatever reason that story really did matter to me...I guess for nothing other then a great reminder of how far off the path schools can go without the proper leadership....and once the founders are no longer involved and the sons have different visions then their fathers....I have a sigh of relief every time I hear JJ and his goals for our school being direct quotes of his dad.
