“The Fundamentalist–Modernist Controversy was a major schism that originated in the 1920s and '30s within the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. At issue were foundational disputes about the role of Christianity, the authority of Scripture, the death, Resurrection, and atoning sacrifice of Jesus.[1] Two broad factions within Protestantism emerged;
Evangelicals who held to traditional Christian Orthodoxy, and
Modernists who to varying degrees argued that "antiquated" beliefs should be modified for the times.”
The basic issue seems to be
are traditional teachings always correct or should they be reexamined in light of current knowledge.
A good example is the first seven books of the Bible.
Are they historically correct. or a fable and do they merely teach what was the common beliefs when they were written or supposed to have been written.
