query about fundamentalism

[Eric Hoenes]

Hi Elizabeth,

The current issue of Anthropological Quarterly (84:3 Spring 2011) features a set of articles that I helped put together treating issues of language ideology and Christianity. They include several pieces about Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity as well as one of what could be termed 'fundamentalist' Christianity, plus an introduction that gives and overview of how anthropologists have used ideas from linguistic anthropology to examine Christianity in global perspective.

The articles include:
"Introduction: Beyond Logos: Extensions of the Language Ideology Paradigm in the Study of Global Christianity(-ies)"
Jon Bialecki and Eric Hoenes

"Towards an Ideology of Gesture: Gesture, Body Movement, and Language Ideology Among Q'eqchi'-Maya Catholics"
Eric Hoenes

"'How Much of this is Promise?': God as Sincere Speaker in Evangelical Bible Reading"
James Bielo

"Israelite Genealogies and Christian Commitment: The Limits of Language Ideologies in Guhu-Samane Christianity"
Courtney Handman

"No Caller ID for the Soul: Demonization, Charisms, and the Unstable Subject of Protestant Language Ideology"
Jon Bialecki

"The Semiotics of Relevance: Campaigning for the Bible in Greater Manchester"
Matthew Engelke

I hope you find these articles interesting.

However, since this not an area of my expertise, I thought I would inquire about accessible articles/books that they could use. I am familiar with Fader's 2005 article (and although it is a  very good article, it may not be the best suggestion for what they are interested in researching), but I had hoped that some of my collegues could assist me in thinking of other discussions in linguistic anthropology or ideas that would be useful.
