  The original purpose of the fundamentalist movement was certainly not to advance some new theological position. Instead its objective was to form a rallying point for biblical Christianity. But after the turn of the century, and especially after World War I, the leadership of this movement somehow came to be dominated by those holding to a dispensational way of interpreting Scripture. As a result those who remained in that movement came to feel that being a dispensationalist was essential to being a fundamentalist.

  Most evangelicals hold to the dispensational premillennial view of eschatology which looks forward to the Rapture (“translation” or “absorption” of believers to heaven) as the next major prophetic event. This, they believe, will end the Church Age and prepare the way for the Tribulation Period and the return of Christ.

  Evangelicals have long been influenced by dispensationalism, a theology that promotes a literal reading of biblical prophecy. Many dispensationalists believe Israelites’ return to the Holy Lands is a requirement for the Second Coming of Jesus. When Israeli troops captured the Old City of Jerusalem in June 1967, some saw it as a sign that Jesus was coming. However, dispensational teaching has been waning in mainstream evangelical circles, even as support for a state of Israel has remained strong.

  Simultaneous to its burgeoning presence in Europe, dispensational theology made its way into North America in the mid-1800s through publications and organized teaching of James Inglis (1813–1872). Its eschatological views in particular captured the attention of conservative denominations, namely Baptist and some Presbyterian, who were concerned with the rise of liberalism in Christian thought. Dispensationalism spread across the United States through the Niagara Bible Conferences (1883–1897) and the teaching of pastors and theologians such as James H. Brookes (1830–1897), Dwight Moody (1837–1899), and Cyrus Scofield (1843–1921). Scofield’s reference Bible, with its accompanying dispensational notes, helped further instill this theology, especially among evangelical churches.
