Books by Julie Scott Jones

Explores Christian fundamentalism in the USA. Establishing the key characteristics of a Protestant Christian fundamentalist worldview, this work investigates the degrees to which these are adhered to amongst different groups, whilst exploring the ways in which such belief systems are constructed and reinforced through everyday life.

Explains risk and how perceptions of risk, risk taking, and risk assessment dominate our everyday lives and explores it in a variety of settings. This book interrogates the rational self at the heart of social theories by thinking through the construction of risk choices and the socio-cultural dynamics that 'present' some risks as acceptable.
