A Fundamentalist Future?

Dr. Jeff Straub of Central Seminary in Minneapolis has a 4 part series now finished over at Sharper Iron on the future of fundamentalism.  He has some good things to say and his series is worth reading.  (Go read his series: part 1, part 2, part 3 and part 4)

Now, I’m a sucker for charts (is that bred into me from being raised a Baptist dispensational fundamentalist?).  And the series includes a really good one.  It is a taxonomy of Evangelicalism and Fundamentalism.  Per the chart most of us blogging here would be considered “New Image Fundamentalists”.  A few of us may be more at home currently, in the “Evangelical Right” or “Historic Fundamentalist” categories, I’m not sure.  I thought his description of “Hyper Fundamentalists” is pretty spot on.

What are your thoughts on this series and the chart in particular?  Should fundamentalism worry about its future?  Should we?
