The controvresy centered on the nature of the Bible. The more sophisticated Christians tended to accept the Scriptures as vital and inspired by God but containing human errors and explanations of nature that had to be rejected in lght of scientific findings. Their opponents took the older view that that Bible came directly from God and was infallible. These 'fundamentalists' abhored much of modern life. " |
