«Los orígenes del fundamentalismo en el judaísmo, el cristianismo y el islam» is Karen Armstrong's essay, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback.
A study tracing the origin and evolution of fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Armstrong analyses the response of certain religious sectors to modernity: literal interpretation of dogmas and a reclaiming of the roots of faith, a reaction she attributes to anxiety in the face of rationalism and science.
Work originally published in 2000 under the title «The Battle for God»; this Spanish edition appeared in 2009 in the Fábula collection (no. 295).
Aimed at readers interested in the history of religions, contemporary thought, and the debate on the role of faith in modernity.
Karen Armstrong is a British author and commentator known for her books on comparative religion. A former Roman Catholic religious sister, she went from a conservative to a more liberal and mystical Christian faith. She attended St Anne's College, Oxford, while in the convent and graduated in English. She left the convent in 1969. Her work focuses on commonalities of the major religions, such as the importance of compassion and the Golden Rule.
