Interest in the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism continues to grow. While major works are appearing on the vicissitudes of evangelicalism up to 1930, only The Fundamentalist Movement is devoted to fundamentalism's next twenty-five years.

Ernest R. Sandeen said of this book upon its publication in 1963: "This work will undoubtedly prove useful for many years as a resource and reference guide." Carl F. H. Henry described it as "a useful source of background for future students of American Protestantism in our generation."

"An attempt was made in this book," writes the author, "to present an objective and definitive account of the developments within the orga-nized fundamentalist movement in American Protestant Christianity since 1930, with particular reference to the contributions of two distinct groups": those represented by the American Council of Christian Churches and those by the National Association of Evangelicals. Chapters discuss (1) the fundamentalist heritage, (2) the dual alignment of fundamentalism, (3) the resurgence and (4) aggravation of militant fundamentalism, (5) the rising tide of fundamentalist evangelism, (6) fundamentalist education, scholarship, and literature, and (7) Billy Gra-ham and the resurgence of revivalism.
