W. A. Criswell envisioned the emergence of a new conservatism that would become the new religious right. In his most famous and revealing sermons, including “Segregation and Society” (1956) and “The Church of the Open Door” (1968), Criswell proclaimed that opposition to evangelical truths sprang from two sources: Darwin’s Origin of Species and the vast inroads of German higher criticism and rationalism that explained away the miracles of the bible and reduced them to humanistic fiction.
