Ehrman proves the dictum that old fundamentalists never die; they just exchange fundamentals and continue in their unimaginative, closed-minded rigidity and simplicity.

   As for the “dis” on fundamentalism, consider the source – William H. Willimon is United Methodist bishop of the North Alabama Conference.
