Bitter Root

Using case histories and the words of Christian Fundamentalist preachers themselves, Jeri Massi shows that Christian Fundamentalism draws a considerable amount of its religious culture from the philosophies attributed to atheist philosophers Fredrich Nietzsche, Ivan Pavlov, and BF Skinner. Massi shows, from the Bible, that Christian Fundamentalism's insistence on a literal interpretation of the Bible is not so much literal as it is a materialist interpretation, removing from the Bible much of its wisdom and vitality.
