Summary: Exhaustive Study of a Menacing Global Religious Phenomenon
Comment: *Fundamentalisms Observed* (the 1st volume of 5) is perhaps the most prestigious contribution yet to the ever expanding literature on the subject. Covering this global phenomenon in several traditions, and with a tight typology, this volume brings together a high-powered team of academics from a dozen disciplines and countries to cover such fundamentalisms as North American Protestantism (Chp. 1), Roman Catholicism (Chp. 2), Protestant fundamentalism in Latin America (Chp. 3), Haredim Jewish fundamentalism (Chp. 4), Zionist Jewish fundamentalism (Chp. 5), Sunni Arab fundamentalism (Chp. 6), Shi'ite fundamentalism (Chp. 7), Islamic fundamentalism in South Asia, (Chp. 8), Hindu fundamentalism (Chp. 9), Fundamentalism in the Sikh tradition (Chp. 10), Buddhist fundamentalism in the Theravadin tradition (Chp. 11), Islamic resurgence in Malaysia and Indonesia (Chp. 12), Confucian revivalism in East Asia (Chp. 13) and Fundamamentalism in Japan (Chp. 14). What is particularly illuminating is the analytical conclusion (Chp. 15) where 9 points are layed out baring on the similarities in the fundamentalisms observed. Thus far, the definitive study on the subject (surpassing Lawrence's *Defenders of God*) and an important reference on the subject for scholar and layman alike
