Summary
1 The Evolution of Two American Species of Scripture People - Drawing allegorically from evolutionary theory, this chapter observes the similarities and differences that have occurred in the development of Islamic scripturalism (Salafism) and Christian scripturalism (Evangelicalism). It also traces the very different paths Salafis and Evangelicals have taken to arrive in modern-day America.
