My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a helpful book, but those who come to it with certain presuppositions will probably not be persuaded to another viewpoint. I read it predisposed to agree with Bauder, and that's exactly what I found myself doing.
Most helpful to me was . . .
1) Bauder's clear, Scriptural critique of evangelicalism's accommodation of non-Christianity.
2) His critique of some forms of fundamentalism (e.g., populist revivalism, hyper-fundamentalism).
3) His laying out of the "idea of fundamentalism," which he believes is really unadulterated Biblical Christianity, while acknowledging that the idea is rarely actualized.
