Summary
7 - Can We Call Salafism (or Evangelicalism) a Movement? - Despite frequent assertions that Salafis and Evangelicals are scriptural “literalists,” these communities are riven by sharp theological and interpretive debates. This chapter explores a major debate in both American scripturalist community in recent years – gay identity and gay marriage – to show the process of interpretive schism and how it fragments both movements.
