Christian Fundamentalism
Christian Fundamentalism is a movement within Christianity that emphasizes a strict interpretation of the Bible and the belief in its inerrancy. Fundamentalists often hold traditional views on issues such as morality, family, and the role of religion in society. They seek to uphold what they see as the core tenets of the Christian faith, often in response to modern secularism and liberal theology.
This movement emerged in the early 20th century, particularly in the United States, as a reaction against modernism and liberal Christianity. Fundamentalists typically advocate for a literal understanding of biblical events, including the creation story and the resurrection of Jesus, and they often engage in efforts to promote their beliefs in public life and education.
