Abstract
The author states that the enduring explanations of the observed restoration of religions do not give adequate answers to questions such as these: how was the restoration of older religious conceptions possible? Or what were the reasons for which the restoration actually took place under the present historical condition and what might be the consequences in the future? The author aims at answering these questions and to achieve this aim he sets out to elaborate the basis of a theory in order to explain the synchronization of secularization and renovation of religions. His final objective is the construction of a more accurate conceptualization of religious fundamentalism than that which has already been stated. He posits that by following the specific theoretical approach, we will be able to understand the role of religions in our world. Taking all these as his theoretical background, he attempts to articulate concrete questions/ parameters for a comparative study of contemporary fundamentalist movements.
