An examination of fundamentalisms focuses on their relations to modernity & tradition. Fundamentalism is distinguished by its reference to a text, eg, the Bible or Koran, believed to hold revealed & infallible truths. Differences between fundamentalism & integralism (a religious radicalization typical of Catholicism) are discussed, & the historical evolution of Islamic fundamentalism is described. It is argued that, in spite of an antimodernist ideology, neither Islamic nor Protestant fundamentalism negates modernity. Rather, fundamentalism fights against the idea that there is only one path to modernity. While using modern technology to communicate their message, fundamentalists restrict the individual's freedom of choice & erase the line between religion & politics central to the image of modernity held by Westerners. Fundamentalism is making an effort to come to terms with modernity by synching the world order with what they believe is the original purity of the Scriptures. J. Lindroth

In this fifth volume of the Fundamentalism Project, Fundamentalisms Comprehended, the distinguished contributors return to and test the endeavor's beginning premise: that fundamentalisms in all faiths share certain "family resemblances." Several of the essays reconsider the project's original definition of fundamentalism as a reactive, absolutist, and comprehensive mode of anti-secular religious activism. The book concludes with a capstone statement by R. Scott Appleby, Emmanuel Sivan, and Gabriel Almond that builds upon the entire Fundamentalism Project. Identifying different categories of fundamentalist movements, and delineating four distinct patterns of fundamentalist behavior toward outsiders, this statement provides an explanatory framework for understanding and comparing fundamentalisms around the world.
