En este estudio, Karen Armstrong, experta en historia de la cultura y las religiones, explora las raíces y el desarrollo del fundamentalismo en el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el islam. Analiza la oposición a la modernidad, la interpretación literal de los dogmas y el uso de la violencia, mostrando que no son exclusivos de una sola religión. Armstrong examina las tensas relaciones entre estos monoteísmos y el progreso, concentrándose en la batalla planteada por los fundamentalistas en el siglo XX, revelando que el retorno a los orígenes es una respuesta a los desafíos del racionalismo y la ciencia.
