This book served its purpose insomuchas I have a better understanding of Fundamentalism's impact on contemporary society. However, I was a bit disappointed with the author's subtle hints of bias--if it was to be written as a book for the sociology of religion, personal agenda should have been left out.

Marsden is a clear thinker and writer whose discussion of Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism should be the first stop in getting an historical understanding of what these Christian faith groups are all about.

Actually, the title is the worst part of the book. Marsden is one of the leaders in understanding this field and helps show why with this relatively easy to process book. Be sure to understand his angle though.

For a book with such a title, it didn't really contribute much to my understanding of either fundamentalism or evangelicalism.
