Varieties of fundamentalist experience: Lubavitch Hasidic and fundamentalist Christian approaches to contemporary life
New world Hasidim : ethnographic studies of Hasidic Jews in America • Albany, N.y. • Published In 1995 • Pages: p 107-133
By: Davidman, Lynn, Stocks, Janet.
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
In this article Davidman and Stocks try to show '…how different sectarian religious groups construct particular neo-orthodox religious cultures that are shaped both by their inherited traditions, and the dynamics of life in contemporary society' (p. 129). To demonstrate this hypothesis Davidman and Stocks present a comparative analysis between the Lubavitch Hasidim and fundamentalist Christians in regard to the teaching of family life, specifically in reference to courtship, marriage, gender, and sexuality. Davidman and Stocks point out both similarities and differences between the two religious groups, and, by implication, the manner in which each has adapted to mainstream society.
