Abstract

This essay explores fundamentalism from the perspective of the sociology of religion. It begins by tracing the history of the term fundamentalism and then argues that fundamentalism is often caused by proclivities toward secularization. While a key distinction between fundamentalism and normative Christianity is made, the argument specifically examines the fundamentalism occurring in the modern milieu of Eastern Christianity. In the end, a taxonomy of Orthodoxy fundamentalisms is offered based on the institution of elders, on the authority of the church fathers and on liturgical practices.
