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.
