“Baptist bodies had a new enemy—theological liberalism … Soon these ideas were being presented at denominational gatherings or published in denomination papers and books … By 1920, the Northern Baptists, in particular, broke out into an all-out war over theology that came to be called ‘The Fundamentalist-Modernist’ controversy. This is the fifty-year history behind that controversy.” - Wipf & Stock

NewI haven't yet read the book.
But, I think it will go a long way to explain the pessimism of Northern Fundamental Baptists in regards to the SBC.

Thanks very much for this book. I’ll pick up a copy. It looks like it’ll complement Bauder’s first volume on northern Baptist fundamentalist history quite well.
