- "Many people criticize fundamentalism for its separatist principle and have an unfairly negative view of it. For this reason, this thesis was written to correct the false understanding of the principle of separation and to help the reader understand fundamentalism more clearly. This thesis also emphasizes that the purpose of the principle of separation was to protect the truth of Scripture and to maintain the purity of the Church. In addition, this thesis stresses that fundamentalism was no more than orthodox Christianity. It does this by considering the history of fundamentalism in the American Presbyterian Church and the Korean Presbyterian Church. Chapters one and two argue why Fundamentalism rose in the United States and stress that Fundamentalism was a movement to protect the fundamental doctrines of orthodox Christianity from Liberalism. These two chapters also illustrate through historical events why Fundamentalism had to choose separation. The principles of Fundamentalism are no different than the principles of separation in the Bible. Chapters three and four illustrate the impact of Fundamentalism on the Korean churches through the influence ofAmerican missionaries. These chapters argue that the Presbyterian Churches in Korea followed the theology ofAmerican Fundamentalism. They mention the sad history of how the Presbyterian Churches in Korea had to experience separation just like their American counterparts. However, in both countries the separation was also inevitable because it was necessary to protect the purity ofthe church and the truth of the Bible. The thesis concludes that the idea of separation by Fundamentalism was to protect the purity of the gospel and orthodox Christianity and was a choice that had to be made. Though Fundamentalists were condemned as Sectarians solely because oftheir stance on separation, the thesis argues that the Fundamentalists were right in their decision to separate."
