1 Proposed titleIs anti-fundamentalism the fundamentalism of the anti-fundamentalists?2 ContextThis study is, in the first place, not a study on the object of fundamentalism, the fundamentalist, but rather on the subject, the anti-fundamentalist – on the accuser rather than the accused, on the accusation and not the defense. I use the word "anti-fundamentalist" instead of "non-fundamentalist" to distinguish between those who publicly oppose fundamentalists and those who cannot be classified as fundamentalists. The meaning of the word “fundamentalism” has been redefined so often. that the meaning has become “obscure” (Carpenter, 1997: 4). Definitions have become relative to changing contexts and have almost been distorted as a descriptive term. It has become evaluative and pejorative with the aim of stigmatizing. Juergensmeyer says the term is "less descriptive than accusatory." (De Sousa, 2007: 86). However, the word remains charged with emotion. The question is: why would people use such a strong word? This question is at the heart of this study. Karen Armstrong describes fundamentalism as a reactionary movement against modernity and globalization, and as a reaction against Enlightenment ideals such as Darwinism and empirical science. (Armstrong, 2004: ix-xi). Or, as Ruthven puts it, fundamentalists “do not or cannot fully accept religious pluralism” (2004: 46). Is it also possible that liberalism, secular society, or liberal theology have difficulty managing their principled commitment to the established, sacred, and transcendental values ​​of conservative Christianity? The reactions are strong, which is evident in James Barr's sentiments: "I think we need to be clear... that we need to get rid of all this, ...... middle of paper ...... character of theology.
