oa Tussen orthodoxie en modernisering: over fundamentalisme en de evangelische beweging in Nederland

In this article fundamentalism is defined as religious orthodoxy in active opposition to modernization. Fundamentalist movements are especially fascinating because their unexpected growth seems to be a falsification of the secularization-thesis. We argued that the evangelical movement in the Netherlands is not a fundamentalist movement pur sang. It is an orthodox movement in mainly passive opposition to some cultural aspects of modernization. We do not expect that this movement will become radicalized during the coming years.
