Fundamentalism

Fundamentalism

Rebecca Joyce Frey
0/5 ( ratings)
The term fundamentalism originated in the United States during the early 20th century when it was applied to a group of Protestant Christians that defended traditional Christian beliefs in the face of modern ideas. Now, religious fundamentalism is associated with a range of political and social events in the early 21st century, most notably the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001. Yet, due to frequent misrepresentation in the media, fundamentalist groups are often misunderstood. Fundamentalism explores the many ways the term fundamentalism is used in the media. It offers a more precise definition of what constitutes fundamentalism and analyzes the roots, ideas, and goals of fundamentalist groups around the world. This enlightening volume begins with a historical outline of the economic, social, and intellectual forces and trends
