This book gives a personal insight into the hearts and minds of a fundamentalist Christian sect, the Open Brethren. Using Brethren magazine articles, obituaries, and testimonies, Peter Herriot argues that the Brethren constitute a perfect example of a fundamentalism. Their culture is entirely opposed to the beliefs, values, and norms of modernity. As a result, like other fundamentalisms they challenge modern Christianity and impede its efforts to engage with global society.

Peter Herriot, who was brought up in a Brethren family, was Professor of Psychology at the City University and at Birkbeck College, University of London. He has since written on fundamentalism from a social psychological perspective. Among his books are ‘Religious Fundamentalism: Global, Local, and Personal’ (2009) and ‘Warfare and Waves: Calvinists and Charismatics in the Church of England’ (2017).

Rezensionen
"It is written in a pleasantly readable style, and the reader is left with a clear-cut picture of a fundamentalist sect that is frequently hidden from view in our contemporary, global society." (Joonhwa Cho, Reading Religion, readingreligion.org, March 2, 2020) "Herriot describes what life is like within the tight Open Brethren, including in the discussion conversion, service, opposition to political activity, and the role of women in the church. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (W. T. Lindley, Choice, Vol. 56 (11), July, 2019)
