Subject Terms:	Protestant fundamentalism, Protestantism, Christianity, Protestant work ethic, Evangelicalism, Protestants, Modernist-fundamentalist controversy, 20th century doctrinal theology, Christians
Abstract:	The article focuses on the definitions of fundamentalism which tend to linger on the vitriolic political actions of a vociferous theological minority. These include the underlined role of debates over evolution and the enclave mentality of twentieth-century Protestant conservatives. It notes that "Fundamentalism" has became profound in a wide variety of religious movements, associated by a shared enclave mentality, fear of modernity, and tendency toward violence. Moreover, queering fundamentalism will allow people to imagine the interpretive space offered by such scriptural inerrancy.
