Description

Ernest R. Sandeen's "The Roots of Fundamentalism" remains a landmark work in the history of religion.

A National Book Award finalist, it was the first full-length study to present an intellectual historical critique of the Fundamentalist movement in America.

Sandeen argues that our understanding of this movement has been grievously distorted by the Fundamentalist-Modernist debate of the 1920s, as symbolized by William Jennings Bryan and the Scopes trial.

Rather than viewing Fundamentalism as a chiefly sociological phenomenon of the 1920s, Sandeen argues from a transatlantic perspective that the Fundamentalist movement "was a self-conscious, structured, long-lived dynamic entity" that had its origins in Anglo-American millenarian thought and movements of the nineteenth century.
