Welcome!
Have you ever heard of hyper fundamentalism? If not, maybe some of these sayings/sentiments will be more familiar:
“The Bible says women’s pants are an abomination unto the Lord!”
“You better be careful disagreeing with the man of God—the Bible says, ‘Touch not mine anointed!'”
“I may not be able to give you chapter and verse for beards being a sin, but wouldn’t you rather be safe than sorry?”
“I’d rather make heaven by a mile than miss it by an inch!”
Hyper fundamentalism is a high-control corruption of Christianity, driven by fear and characterized by extra-biblical requirements, authoritarianism, tribalism, and elitism. Unfortunately, it has infected hundreds of church groups, distorting the gospel for millions of believers. Our goal here at Berean Holiness is to build a bridge out of hyper fundamentalism and into healthy faith.
Whether you’re currently part of a hyper-fundamentalist group, years removed from it, or somewhere in between, we hope our faith-based resources—articles, podcasts, videos, directories, social media, and more—will be a blessing to you as you compare what you’ve been taught with Scripture and pursue biblical holiness.
“The Bereans… were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the Word
with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
— Acts 17:11 —
