Reviews
In Lawrence's assessment, fundamentalists are "the righteous remnant turned vanguard," last-ditch defenders of God, fighting what they perceive to be dangerous modernist values of personal autonomy and relativism. Fundamentalism, asserts this Duke University historian, is a form of ideology rather than a theology, and as such, it is a multicultural and "cross-creedal" outlook common to certain American Protestants, Muslims and right-wing, "quasi-Hasidic" Israeli parties such as Gush Emunim. In the first half of this bold, original study, Lawrence lays the philosophical and historical groundwork for his analysis by discussing Eurocentrism, nationalism and the marginalization of religion. The second half consists of case studies drawn from the three major monotheistic religions. He predicts that, in the long run, fundamentalism will not be able to control public discourse or activity in any major nation-state.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. First Edition. Type: Hardback First EditionFirst Printing. Hardcover Book and Jacket AS NEW. Golden-brown cloth binding with burgundy titles on spine. Clean, bright; Tight and solid, square with sharp corners. Internals as new also. Jacket unclipped. A comparative study that tries to make sense out of contemporary zealots--Christian, Jew, and Muslim-who are in revolt against what they feel to be the modern rejection of God's teachings as revealed in their sacred texts. The author posits that fundamentalism is not a revival that will fade from the world scene, but rather a burgeoning global movement that we ignore at our peril. May be considered a benchmark in its field, a very important work. For anyone concerned with the future of the modern world. 306 pages. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Harper & Row, New York, 1989.
