To the editor:

It is too bad that as a professor of history, Berry Craig does not show evidence of knowing his subject.

What he tells his students about the purpose (taking over the church; forcing their views on the rest of the world) and character ("sizzling with self-righteousness") of the Confessing Church Movement (CCM) is incorrect. Either he has not researched it, or did not understand it, or is deliberately telling untruths about it.

In addition, he does not seem to understand the meaning of the word "fundamentalist". This term cannot reasonably be applied to the large majority of CCM churches, as there are very few fundamentalists at all in the PC(USA.)

Academic integrity should require Craig to familiarize himself with people and churches in the CCM before presuming to instruct students about it. Those of us who are evangelicals would appreciate Craig's using his mind, as he instructs others to do.
