The sense of unity that had been developing among evangelicals in the early part of the century was broken by the impact of Darwinism, higher criticism, and industrialization.

In the 1940s a new evangelical movement began to form as American Fundamentalism developed a prgoressive wing that was more open to the world and church tradition than the older movement. Carl F. H. Henry, a Baptist clergyman and educator, signaled the beginning of this neo-evangelicalism with his Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism (1947). E. J. Carnell (1919-67) was the early theologian of this new type of conservative faith. At the same time that fundamentalist theology was maturing, conservative churches in America entered into a period of growth that is still continuing. The strength of the evangelical movement in the local churches in turn contributed to a strengthening of extracongregational institutions. Such evangelical seminaries as Gordon-Conwell, Fuller, and Trinity now have firmly established reputations as well as growing student bodies. " |
