Books on "fundamentalism"

Rosie Perera

Got into a conversation with someone about fundamentalism, what it is, how it's slippery to define, and realized that I don't have any of my usual go-to books about fundamentalism in my Logos library. In fact, I only have two resources with the word "fundamentalism" in their title in my library: one of them is a magazine issue, and the other is The Dawkins Delusion? Atheist Fundamentalism and the Denial of the Divine. Surely I need more to be able to research this topic thoroughly. So here's what I'd suggest as a start:

• Fundamentalism and American Culture by George M. Marsden
• Understanding Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism by George M. Marsden
• Reforming Fundamentalism by George M. Marsden
• "Fundamentalism" and the Word of God by J.I. Packer
• Fundamentalism by James Barr
• Fundamentalisms Observed (The Fundamentalism Project, v. 1) by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby
• Fundamentalisms and Society: Reclaiming the Sciences, the Family, and Education (The Fundamentalism Project, v. 2) by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby
• Fundamentalisms and the State: Remaking Polities, Economies, and Militance (The Fundamentalism Project, v. 3) by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby
• Accounting for Fundamentalisms: The Dynamic Character of Movements (The Fundamentalism Project, v. 4) by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby
• Fundamentalisms Comprehended (The Fundamentalism Project, v. 5) by Martin E. Marty and R. Scott Appleby
• Strong Religion: The Rise of Fundamentalisms around the World by Gabriel A. Almond
• The Uneasy Conscience of Modern Fundamentalism by Carl F. H. Henry and Richard J. Mouw
• Catholicism and Fundamentalism: The Attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" by Karl Keating
• Revive Us Again: The Reawakening of American Fundamentalism by Joel A. Carpenter
• Fundamentalism: A Very Short Introduction by Malise Ruthven
• Fundamentalism: The Search For Meaning by Malise Ruthven
• The Battle for God: A History of Fundamentalism by Karen Armstrong

And though it doesn't have "fundamentalism" in the title, I've heard good things about this one:

• Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America's Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion by Edward J. Larson
