Fundamentalism is a style of Christian belief that begins with the position that the Bible is inerrant and literally true. This is not only an erroneous approach to scripture, it also leads to numerous difficulties of doctrine.

In the essays herein, Fundamentalists are called to reconsider their approach to the Bible, and the nature of docrtines shaped by what is demonstrably an un-Christlike view of life, of God, and of human nature. Fundamentalists are asked to consider that their spiritual forebears have been on the wrong side of justice in the past, and to consider what that may imply about their positions on matters of current social debate. Finally they are invited to contemplate alternative Christian ways of viewing scripture and doctrine, ways which are much more closely aligned with the trajectory of mainstream Christian thought throughout history.
