Christian fundamentalism is a significant global movement which
originally took its name from The Fundamentals, a series of
booklets defending classic evangelical doctrines, published in the
1910s. The Oxford Handbook of Christian Fundamentalism traces the
roots of fundamentalism from the late nineteenth century and
explores the development of the movement up to the present day.
Since its inception, fundamentalism has proved a highly contested
category. By some the label is recognised as a badge of honour, by
others a term of abuse. This volume does not offer a simple
definition of fundamentalism. Rather, it acknowledges its many
interpretative and definitional complexities, and allows multiple
identities to jostle together under the 'fundamentalist' label. The
boundaries are porous between fundamentalism and conservative
evangelicalism, so the Handbook includes analysis of some
conservative expressions of Christianity which show fundamentalist
characteristics, even in groups which refuse to define themselves
as 'fundamentalist'. The relationship of fundamentalism to
Pentecostalism and charismatic renewal is also explored in detail.
Research-led chapters cover significant historical developments,
key doctrines such as biblical inerrancy, creationism and
separatism, and an extensive range of moral and cultural issues to
which the contribution of fundamentalism has been significant,
including popular music, alcohol, sport, and family life.
Contributors also chart the evolution of the movement
globally—far beyond its North Atlantic origins. Recognising the
prominence of fundamentalism beyond the Church, the Handbook
explores its contribution to public debates concerning political
influence, education, human genetics, civil rights, business,
global warning, sexuality, Israel and the Middle East, the shaping
of contemporary culture, and much else. Christian fundamentalism,
this Handbook ultimately shows, is one of the most significant
movements operating in today's world.
