Fundamentalism: A Very Short Introduction by Malise Ruthven
This concise exploration delves into the complexities of fundamentalism, a term that has evolved over time to encompass diverse radical conservatives and ideological purists. From its origins in 1920s American Protestant evangelicals to its modern manifestations, Ruthven examines the historical, social, religious, political, and ideological roots of this multifaceted phenomenon.
With a nuanced approach, Ruthven tackles the polemic and stereotypes surrounding fundamentalism, shedding light on its urgent need for understanding. This book is part of Oxford University Press's Very Short Introductions series, offering a concise and accessible introduction to a complex subject.
