Fundamentalism in America

Description
This important book challenges the idea that religious fundamentalism can adequately be understood as a paranoid, xenophobic faith. It demonstrates instead how it draws upon a long tradition of evangelical and millenialist scripture in its engagement with issues at the spiritual and ethical core of postmodernity in the United States. The author examines the varieties of fundamentalism as they appear in prophecy, sermon, film and fiction. In its wide-ranging consideration of the rhetoric of the "New World Order," the literature of prophecy, Cold War films, television evangelism, cross-border texts, and post-nationalist writing, "Fundamentalism in America" provides a vital and compelling account of the present state of religious and nationality identity in the United States.
