Question

How did modernism differ from fundamentalism

Answer 1

Fundamentalism differs from modernism in several ways.

Explanation:

The controversy between fundamentalism and modernism emerged during the 1920s. The controversy emerged in the Presbyterian church in the United States. Within the protestant faction of Christianity differences of opinion existed on several subjects like authority of scripture, death, resurrection etc.

These differences of opinion caused the development of two factions within protestant Christianity. Fundamentalists believed in an almost literal interpretation of the bible. They believed that each and every doctrine of the scripture had timeless validity.

Modernists had a different approach towards religion. They believed that religion should adapt to the advancements in science and keep up with the changes that come over with time.
