Christian writing from the twentieth century onward that is in the public domain.
The Fundamentals
Ninety essays published between 1910 and 1915 by the Testimony Publishing Company of Chicago, funded by the brothers Lyman and Milton Stewart and edited in turn by A. C. Dixon, Louis Meyer, and R. A. Torrey. Written by leading conservative theologians of Britain and North America in defence of orthodox Protestant belief against the higher criticism and Darwinism, and mailed free of charge to pastors and missionaries across the English-speaking world. The work gave its name to the movement later called fundamentalism. Given here in the four-volume arrangement edited by Torrey for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (1917).
