Among these non-Wesleyan streams of influence is fundamentalism. In the United States, Fundamentalism emerged about 1875, reaching a zenith of influence in the early 1920’s. It grew out of a shared concern by Evangelical leaders, both church leaders and scholars, for a means of responding to the alarming erosion of basic Christian beliefs, beliefs that were under heavy assault from liberal theological scholarship."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderPentecostalismFundamentalismWesleyanHolinessEvangelical leadersChristian denominationsPentecostal, CharismaticEvangelicalDogmaticsHoly SpiritArticle
