Thanks to Jamie Smith there is an interesting lecture that has been made available here about the history and theology of the American Fundamentalist movement from the perspective of journalist Jeff Sharlet called "Fundamentalist History, Secular Myth, and the Media's God Problem." Good stuff. Let this "outsider" disturb us and help offer us a corrective...please God...
A word of caution though, I am not advocating buying completely into Sharlet's worldview and secularist theology...just listen, because I believe he can help us come to a more honest assessment of where Christianity is (and isn't) in America.
