During the past decade, the growing intensity of fundamentalist
movements has ignited increasingly heated debates and controversies
over the role of religion in modern societies. Until 9/11, most
debates in the modern United States over the intersection of
religion, politics, and society had focused on the rise and
influence of the fundamentalist Protestant-led Christian Right. But
after that tragic day, fundamentalist religious beliefs commanded
even more attention, though this time Islamic. "Fundamentalism,
Politics, and the Law" describes and analyzes the role of religious
fundamentalist beliefs in the modern political world. Comprised of
studies by leading scholars in law, political science, sociology
and religion, this volume is organized around two major topics: the
first examines the rise and the enduring influence of the Christian
Right in U.S. politics and policy. The second focuses on the clash
between fundamentalist practices in various religious traditions
and societal norms and the law.
