"This book investigates the origins of fundamentalism, outlining its characteristics
and the history of key fundamentalist movements around the world, considering examples
from Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The book argues that fundamentalism
develops when modern lay religious leaders challenge the authority of secular states
and traditional religious establishments. These new leaders and their followers seek
to infuse religious values and practices into all spheres, especially law, politics,
education, and science. The patterns of religious authority and leadership that characterize
fundamentalism have their roots in a Christian context but were globalized through
intense intercultural contacts after the mid-nineteenth century. Fundamentalism is
a thoroughly modern and global phenomenon because it presupposes the globalization
of ideas and practices concerning religious leadership and organization, as well as
universal changes in the relationship of religion to modern societies and states"--Provided
