Originally published in 1980, Fundamentalism and American Culture has long been considered a classic in religious history, and to this day remains unsurpassed. For this new edition, Marsden will add a chapter exploring the changes in American fundamentalism since the book's original publication, including evangelicals' extraordinary growth in political prominence.

For this new edition, a major new chapter compares fundamentalism since the 1970s to the fundamentalism of the 1920s, looking particularly at the extraordinary growth in political emphasis and power of the more recent movement. Never has it been more important to understand the history of fundamentalism in our rapidly polarizing nation. Marsen's carefully researched and engrossing work remains the best way to do just that.
