Notes
From the Preface (p. x):
"The present work is not a conventional institutional history that attempts to "cover" whatever happened during a certain time. Rather, it is a narrative built around the theme of Fuller Seminary's leading role in the original new evangelical (or neo-evangelical) attempt to reform fundamentalism. This story, which I hope will be as engaging to read as it was to write, carries us from before the founding of the seminary in 1947 to about 1967 or 1968. Just about that time a number of the principle characters passed from the stage and the original new evangelicalism began both to seem old and to fragment."
