Description
Résumé:Applying action-theoretical concepts to historical studies of revitalization movements and Awakenings, this paper proposes an analytical conception of fundamentalism. It is argued that various revitalization episodes in American religious history had fundamentalist aspects but also entailed unintended modernizing consequences. Outlining some of the factors accounting for the reemergence of ostensibly anti-modern fundamentalism as a salient general movement, the paper argues that it is in fact a quintessentially modern phenomenon.
