Michael Campbell also wrote a book called "1919: The Untold Story of Adventism's Struggle with Fundamentalism". I found it a very interesting read.
You make some very valid points here. Until I read your 10 minute read above, I didn't consider myself a fundamentalist, as my understanding of inspiration, and even my understanding of God's nature, has changed over recent years to be what I thought would be quite 'un-fundamentalist'. But going by your (fairly broad) definition of fundamentalism as psychology, it seems to me that everyone (regardless of belief system) probably has some fundamentalist leanings. The key, I think, is to recognise how our personal fundamentalism might make us un-Christ-like, and seek ways to combat those negative fundamentalist tendencies!
