Religious Fundamentalism

Description

"Religious Fundamentalism deals with all of these four levels of analysis, uniquely combining sociological and psychological perspectives, and relating them to each other. Each chapter is followed by an in-depth case study, and these range from a close textual analysis of President George W. Bush's second inaugural speech through to a treatment of al-Qaida as a global media event." "This book provides a comprehensive social scientific perspective on a subject of immense contemporary significance, and should be of interest to both university students and to students of the contemporary world."--Jacket.
