From these pulpits he shocked fundamentalists by asserting that "literal infallibility of Scripture is a fortress impossible to defend" and infuriated others by opposing the U.S.'s entry into World War II and the subsequent arms race with Moscow, "a lockstep toward incineration that we do not know how to stop...
