	Evangelicalism
		Evangelicalism is usually associated with a type of preaching that calls on the hearer to confess his or her sin and believe in Christ's forgiveness.
		Evangelicalism is the movement in modern Christianity, transcending denominational and confessional boundaries, that emphasizes conformity to the basic tenets of the faith and a missionary outreach of compassion and urgency.
		Evangelicalism reached to the grass roots of white America, while the fl community, in both slavery and freedom, was sustained and held together by its churches, which expressed a deep, personal evangelical faith.

	Evangelical Christianity and the Cults
		Evangelical leaders were the first to recognize that the Christian Church faced a growing number of challenges to its religious hegemony of America and the West.
		The orthodox Christian tradition is expressed in the ancient creeds of the church (such as the Apostles and Nicean) and explicated in the writings of the early church fathers who defined and rejected the classic heresies, and in more recent statements such as the early twentieth century definition of The Fundamentals.
		Evangelicals have specialized in criticism of those cults which see themselves as Biblically-based Christians but have either (1) reached different conclusions on basic doctrinal issues or (2) have received an additional revelation which adds to (and thus changes) the Biblical message.

	Evangelicalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evangelical Christians were a diverse group; some were at the forefront of movements such as abolition of slavery, prison reform, orphanage establishment, hospital building and founding educational institutions.
		Evangelicals, along with trade unionists, Chartists, members of cooperatives, the self-help movement and the Church of England were involved in setting up the temperance movements in the U.S.A., Ireland, Scotland and England.
		The mass-appeal of the Christian right in the so-called red states, and its success in rallying resistance to certain social agendas, is sometimes characterized by an otherwise unwilling, and secular, society as an attempt to impose theocracy on the country, although most evangelicals deny this.

	Evangelicalism
		The term came into general use in England at the time of the Methodist revival under Wesley and Whitefield, which had its roots in Calvinism and which, with its emphasis on emotion and mysticism in the spiritual realm, was itself in part a reaction against the "rational" Deism of the earlier eighteenth century.
		Early in the nineteenth century the terms "Evangelical" and " Methodist" were used indiscriminately by opponents of the movement, who accused its adherents of fanaticism and puritanical disapproval of social pleasures.
		[Evangelical Christianity has special importance to Victorian literature because so many major figures began as Evangelicals and retained many attitudes and ideas, including notions of biblical symbolism, even after they abandoned their childhood and young adult beliefs either for another form of Christianity or unbelief.

	Evangelical Leader: 'Evangelical Christianity Has Been Hijacked'
		Evangelical leader, sociology professor, and Baptist minister Tony Campolo made headlines in the 1990s when he agreed to be a spiritual counselor to President Bill Clinton.
		In short, I think that evangelicals are so concerned with the unborn—as we should be—that we have failed to pay enough attention to the born—to those children who do live and who are being left behind by a system that has gone in favor of corporate interests and big money.
		I understand evangelicals who say there comes a time when one issue is so overpowering that we have to vote for the candidate that espouses a pro-life position, even if we disagree with him on a lot of other issues.

		The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, by Mark Noll, is "an epistle from a wounded lover." Noll loves God and he loves academics, but he is wounded because many of his colleagues deny the possibility of maintaining the integrity of both loves.
		Claiming that "the scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind," historian Noll sets out to trace the reasons for what he sees as the great divorce between intellect and piety in North American Evangelical Christianity.
		In the first chapter, evangelicalism is described as having "the key ingredients of: conversionism/new birth, biblicism/the bible as ultimate religious authority, activism/sharing your faith, crucicentrism/significance of Christ's saving work on the cross." Fundamentalism is not necessarily evangelicalism.

		As someone raised evangelical and now a fundamentalist by choice, I think that Christianity is healthy and strong even if evangelicalism, as an approach to church functionality created by men, may have run its course.
		Your point is right on -- biblical Christianity itself is not teetering on the edge of existence, but the souls of many caught up in modern evangelicalism are, as it takes on more and more aberrant doctrines and practices.

		According to the Focus on Africa magazine, Evangelical Christianity has more that 125 million devotees in Africa - 19 percent of the continent's population - up from 17 million people who described themselves as 'born-again Christians' in 1970.
