What the Heck is an Evangelical?
Manage episode 308110027 series 3006708
David French and his theological wingman Curtis Chang dive into the term “evangelical”, defining it historically and discussing how it fits in the current American context. Is it really a set of religious beliefs, a set of cultural beliefs, or a set of political beliefs? How does evangelicalism compare with fundamentalism? Is evangelical a term worth salvaging for Christians, or has it become too closely tied to a political movement to retain any spiritual relevance?
Show Notes:
-The French Press: “Did Donald Trump Make the Church Great Again?”
-Barna: “Survey Explores Who Qualifies As an Evangelical” (including the 9-point Evangelical)
-Ryan Burge: “Why ‘Evangelical’ is becoming another word for ‘Republican’”
-The French Press: “The American Crisis of Selective Empathy”
