This collection contains three fundamentalist periodicals (School and Church, The Christian Fundamentalist, and The Northwestern Pilot) published by or in close association with William Bell Riley and Northwestern Schools. They cover a period from the mid-1910s to the mid-1950s.
School and Church was a monthly and then quarterly magazine “published in the interest of the Northwestern Bible and Missionary Training School” with an “uncompromisingly conservative” point of view, and “devoted to the cause of evangelical Christianity and orthodox theology.” The publication contained information on the school, Bible study materials, and news and commentary on regional, national, and global issues from a conservative Christian perspective. From vol. 3:1 to 4:4, the title page read Christian Fundamentals in School and Church, which then became the official title from vol. 5:1 to 9:2. The magazine was closely affiliated with the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association (WCFA) which formed in 1919. It was replaced by The Christian Fundamentalist in July 1927 as the official publication of the WCFA.
The Christian Fundamentalist replaced School and Church (and Christian Fundamentals in School and Church) in July 1927 as the official publication of the World’s Christian Fundamentals Association (WCFA) which formed in 1919. It was "A monthly magazine published in the interest of 'Christian Fundamentals'... and devoted to the cause of evangelical Christianity and orthodox theology.” The publication contained information on the school, Bible study materials, and news and commentary on regional, national, and global issues from a conservative Christian perspective.
The Northwestern Pilot began as a school newspaper in 1920 and eventually transformed into a bible study and outreach magazine. Due to financial strains, The Northwestern Pilot ceased publication in 1956.
