"Vincent Crapanzano, one of the country's leading anthropologists, has written a book that examines the prevalence of fundamentalism and literalism and the unexpected forms they take in modern America, in both religious and secular life." "Serving the Word is a look at literalism as a modern belief system, and analyzes its place in two seemingly contrasting fields.".
"Crapanzano makes a claim that the attraction to literal certainty the we associate with fringe fanaticism is in fact deeply embedded in American culture."--BOOK JACKET.
