The Fundamentals 1917
- Former user (Deleted)
The 1917 Biola republication of The Fundamentals, under the editorial hand of R. A. Torrey, consisted of 90 essays printed in 4 volumes. Torrey put the essays into an orderly sequence in this edition, making The Fundamentals a popular synthesis of conservative biblical scholarship, theology, and apologetics. In the Preface, Torrey claims to have omitted “a very few articles that did not seem to be in exact keeping with the original purposes of The Fundamentals,” but this does not seem to be true. The 12-volume edition had 90 chapters, as does the Biola Book Room’s 4-volume edition. (note for research: Perhaps some sections were revised? Unlikely, because Torrey mentions that Biola received “the plates” from the original publishers, suggesting a direct mechanical reprinting).
Volumes 1-5, edited by A. C. Dixon
Volumes 6-10, edited by L. Meyer
Volumes 11-12, edited by R. A.Torrey
There was also a 1958 Biola Republication by Louis Talbot (chancellor), Samuel Sutherland (pres), Charles L. Feinberg and a faculty team. First printing in 2 volumes, 1961 printing in one volume.
