Religious Fundamentalism and Social Identity is unique in applying social identity theory to fundamentalism, and rare in that it provides psychological (in addition to sociological) analyses of the phenomenon. It is a valuable resource for courses in social psychology which seek to demonstrate the applicability of social psychological theory to the real world.

'Peter Herriot demonstrates how far one can come with linking theories about intergroup relations with religious fundamentalism. It is evident that these theories are highly relevant for and applicable to the phenomenon at hand. He has created a remarkable and original work.' – Bertjan Doosje, Associate Professor, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands
'Religious Fundamentalism and Social Identity makes a permanent contribution to efforts to understand a phenomenon that is unlikely to disappear and one we must all learn to live with.' - Ralph W Hood, Professor of Psychology, University of Tennessee at Chatanooga, USA
