Scholars continue to study the origins of fundamentalist religion in the twentieth century. The importance of this study is evident to all who would seek to understand the complex political and religious currents influencing the modern world. This study focuses on the emergence of Protestant fundamentalism in Los Angeles, beginning with late nineteenth century trends towards religious radicalism and culminating in the splitting of radical and moderate fundamentalist groups at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles in the late 1920s. Highlighted in this study are the complex tensions between mainline Protestants and an emerging sectarian trend among those who would become militant fundamentalists, which continues to shape Protestant religion today.

Review:
In When Streams Diverge Daniel Draney offers the fascinating story of a little-known but all-important moment in American Christianity. The scandal produced by John Murdoch MacInniss book seemed to catch everyone off guard, including MacInnis himself. Here the twists and turns that occurred in public among the colourful leaders of the many varieties of early-twentieth century Protestantism are traced with great care. Students, scholars, and innocent bystanders who want to understand the development of religion in Los Angeles and the evolution of fundamentalism in America need to read this book. Draneys account offers new insights into the ways institutions and individuals react to one another and in the process shape society, including local and national religious cultures. --Philip Goff, Director, Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture and Professor of Religious Studies and American Studies, Indiana University-Purdue University

Dan Draneys insightful and thoroughly researched study of John Murdoch MacInnis is a much-welcomed addition to the growing corpus of writings on the history of American fundamentalism. Far more than a simple biography or even a study of religious opposition to modernism, it provides an extensive examination of an important (but previously overlooked) figure from early twentieth-century North American religious history. Readers will benefit from Draneys insight into the nuanced theology of fundamentalism, its significance in Los Angeles (and in the Western United States) and its complex ecclesiological dimensions. This study will reshape current thinking of the origins and nature of fundamentalism in America. As such, it deserves extensive notice from the scholarly community. --Grayson Carter, Associate Professor of Church History, Fuller Theological Seminary SW, Phoenix, Arizona, USA
