• Sommario/riassunto: Through a collection of essays, Fundamentalism: Perspectives on a Contested History explores the ways in which the concept of global fundamentalism does and does not illuminate developments in modern Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. At issue is whether, beyond the specific milieu of American Protestantism in the early decades of the twentieth century, the word 'fundamentalism' captures something important on a global scale that is not captured-or not as well-by other words. Readers will quickly discover that in exploring this issue the book is "at war with itself."In Fundamentalism Simon A. W
