After placing fundamentalisms in a theoretical framework, the study looks at selected themes important to fundamentalists, noting resemblances and differences. These themes include their anti-secularist stance, their theocentric worldviews, their reliance on inerrant sacred scriptures, and their attitudes to politics, government, state and democracy. The study also looks at the fundamentalist view of the world as a perennial battlefield between the forces of good and those of evil, in the realm of ideologies as well as politics and the legitimation of violence.Studies in the history of religions ;96.Religious fundamentalismComparative studiesIslamRelationsChristianityChristianity and other religionsIslamElectronic books.Religious fundamentalismIslamRelationsChristianity.Christianity and other religionsIslam.200/.9/051Zeidan David897636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455833903321The resurgence of religion2005462UNINA
