Christian fundamentalism

Religious movement emphasizing biblical literalism

Christian fundamentalism, also known as fundamental Christianity or fundamentalist Christianity, is a religious movement emphasizing biblical literalism. Fundamentalism is sometimes conflated with evangelicalism, of which it is a politically conservative subset. In its modern form, it began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries among British and American Protestants as a reaction to theological liberalism and cultural modernism.
