Abstract
"In examining the roots of the modern Pentecostal movement, it is important to acknowledge that although it is obvious that virtually all of the earliest Pentecostal leaders were a direct product of the Wesleyan Holiness movement, other influences had a profound impact on the shaping of the values of what came to be the main stream of Pentecostalism. Among these non-Wesleyan streams of influence is fundamentalism. In the United States, Fundamentalism emerged about 1875, reaching a zenith of influence in the early 1920’s. It grew out of a shared concern by Evangelical leaders, both church leaders and scholars, for a means of responding to the alarming erosion of basic Christian beliefs, beliefs that were under heavy assault from liberal theological scholarship."
