Description
Monotheism and Fundamentalism provides a comprehensive analysis of how fundamentalism manifests within monotheistic religious traditions. Author Rik Peels examines the complex relationship between monotheistic beliefs and fundamentalist movements, exploring their historical prevalence and contemporary significance.
The book investigates what fundamentalism means in the context of religions centered on belief in a single God, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. Peels explores the conditions under which fundamentalist movements emerge, their potential influence on religious communities and societies, and factors contributing to their resilience across generations.
Published by Cambridge University Press as part of the Elements in Religion and Monotheism series, this work serves as an essential resource for scholars, theologians, and students seeking to understand the intersection of monotheistic theology and fundamentalist ideology. The analysis balances academic rigor with accessible scholarship, making it valuable for both specialized researchers and general readers interested in religious studies.
