Preferred term

Islamic fundamentalist movements  

Definition(s)

  • The term fundamentalism has its origin in a struggle that developed between conservative and liberal Protestant Christian theologians in the United States around the turn of the 20th century. This struggle was epitomized in the publication by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles in the years between 1910 and 1915 of the series The Fundamentals: A Testimony to Truth, which in 12 volumes detailed 90 fundamental beliefs on which there could be no compromise for a true Christian believer.
