In the student body I do think there is a mixture of some Old school fundys (Fundamentalists), neo-evangelicals, traditionalists and even emerging church people. I guess that's what you get with an interdenominational school!Jared Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445783451815077626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29779320.post-63227427057295404242007-06-13T13:38:00.000-05:002007-06-13T13:38:00.000-05:00Originally a fundamentalist was a movement in reac...Originally a fundamentalist was a movement in reaction to modernism in the 1920s. Those fundamentalists were defined by their belief in 5 major doctrines: Inerrancy, Virgin Birth, Physical resurrection, Atonement, and the Second Coming. By this definition, almost all evangelicals would be considered fundamentalists. So the distinction between a fundamentalist and an evangelical is now no longer doctrinal (as far as the major doctrines go anyway). Now, a fundamentalist is known more by strict, separatist behavior, and an insistence that all believers live their lives with the same set of separatist views. Consequently, I would not define DTS as a Fundamentalist school. I think the fundamentalist type "rules" to which you refer probably have their roots in politics. DTS has certain "rules" I think because of political reasons. But for those of us who come from true fundamentalist schools, DTS is nowhere near that kind of Christian legalism. For example, I never got "in trouble" at DTS for attending a movie.BCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10700184316041424469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29779320.post-8909229574383133502007-06-13T10:00:00.000-05:002007-06-13T10:00:00.000-05:00What defines "Fundamentalist"?

Not the faculty, but it seems the administration likes rules.Jared Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445783451815077626noreply@blogger.com
