Finally, those of us who enjoy reading church history will welcome
the publication of a second edition of George Marsden’s classic Fundamentalism And American Culture
(Oxford University Press). Understanding where we are today requires
understanding where we have been, and Marsden does a masterful job of
explaining the development of American fundamentalism from 1870 to
1925. The second edition contains a major new chapter which compares
fundamentalism since the 1970s to the fundamentalism of the 1920s.
