	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.
		On the average, evangelicals tend to be distrustful of reliance upon historical definitions of belief, if they are not qualified as being subordinate to the Bible; and yet, they may be inclined to refer to these documents of faith in defense of their understanding of the Bible.

	Evangelical left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evangelical left is a term used to describe those who are part of the Christian evangelical movement in the USA but who generally function on the left wing of that movement, either politically or theologically, or both.
		While the evangelical left movement is related to the better known Christian left, those who are part of the latter movement are not always viewed as evangelical.
		Typically, members of the evangelical left affirm the primary tenets of evangelical theology, such as the doctrines of Incarnation, atonement, and resurrection, and also see the Bible as a primary authority for the Church.

	Christian left - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Christian Left is a term used to describe those who hold a strong Christian belief and share left-wing, liberal, or socialist ideals.
		However, the Christian Left does not seem to be as well-organized or publicized as its right-wing counterpart.
		On the other hand, there are many members of the Christian left who affirm gays and lesbians and believe that the Biblical statements used to condemn their homosexuality are not relevant to modern gay and lesbian relationships.

		Evangelicalism _is_ anti-intellectual (and I speak as a former evangelical).
		This is not to impugn the civic-mindedness of evangelicals or their value as citizens of the U.S.A. This is only to argue that evangelicals have never found a place for reason that they are fully comfortable with as the Catholics and Anglicans have.
		Evangelicals are so determined to forget "religion" in favor of "relationship" that we essentially cut off the roots of thousands of years of Christian tradition.

	Books in Review: With Liberty and Justice for Whom? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As an evangelical studying economic development, I run into many Christians whose view of capitalism is akin to the youngster's opinion of modern appliances: you sort of have to put up with it, but it holds a lowly place among your moral druthers, and you look wistfully for some "better way" of ordering economic life.
		Gay observes that the left views capitalism as a "comprehensive system, encompassing economic, political, and social realities." For them this is a critical as well as helpful view, because this definition allows the left to use capitalism as a scapegoat for just about any evil under the sun.
		They are the evangelical "moderate right" (represented, e.g., by Herbert Schlossberg, Ron Nash, and P. Hill and excluding the far-right theonomists) and the section of the center Gay calls the "evangelical mainstream" (represented, e.g., by Carl F. Henry).

		One Arab evangelical leader tells me the DVD of The Passion didn't do so well when it was released in 2004, but that's only because hundreds of thousands of bootleg copies had already been snatched up from street vendors from Beirut to Baghdad long before the official version arrived.
		What's more, the sermons and worship services were broadcast by SAT-7, the leading evangelical satellite TV network, allowing millions more from Casablanca to Kabul to hear the gospel, some for the first time in their lives.

		Christian Democracy: is a political ideology, born at the end of the 19th century, largely as a result of the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum of Pope Leo XIII, in which the Vatican recognizes workers' misery and agrees that something should be done about it, in reaction to the rise of the socialist and trade-union movements.

	Direction: Recent Interpretations of Evangelical Pluralism
		When asked who an evangelical was he replied an evangelical is anyone who tells a liberal, “I’ll call you a Christian if you call me a scholar.” The truth nowadays is that there is probably more generosity by the mainline in recognizing evangelical scholarship than there is by evangelicals in accepting mainliners as Christians.

	two or three . net: Far Left Demonizes Obama
		In a post they've filed under Demonizing Secularism, they accuse Obama, and the evangelical left, of buying into a construct (they call it a "frame") created by the (evil) religious right, that is, that there is a culture war between secular humanists and Christianity, that there is a secularist plot to de-religionize culture.
		It was Protestant evangelicals, especially fundamentalists, who brought this concept into the public political arena and developed a plan to mobilize grassroots activists as foot soldiers in what became known as the Culture Wars of the 1980s.
		After Wallis, who is identified with the evangelical Christian left, spoke about the subject of his book to a standing-room-only crowd, Land explained the significance of the moment from his perspective.

	Left Center Left: Phantom Evangelical Base (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		But in truth, this claim is vastly simplistic: the fashionable image of masses of white evangelical voters, stirred up by the tricks of Karl Rove and led by Bible-thumping clergymen, marching in lock step to deny rights to women and to gays, is hardly born out by the data.
		For the total share of Evangelical Republicans in the electorate is not.075 times 21 percent (the margin over other denominations), but.62 times 21 percent, which gives us 13% of the voting public.
		Many Evangelicals aren't especially politically active, and it seems to me that these are the Evangelicals who could potentially vote for Kerry if they see his economic ideas as appealing and aren't sold on the war with Iraq.

		In his final chapter, Erickson attempts to forecast the future of the Evanglical Left, and in the process he is compelled to sacrifice some of his focus.
		Evangelicals are often slandered in today's culture, and this is sad, since many of their best thinkers (Grenz and Stott, for example) are truly intelligent people.
		It is true that his work is not read very much by liberals in dying denominations and dead churches, but it is greatly appreciated by evangelical seminary students and pastors."The Evangelical Left" is a superb study of dangerous trends in the world of evangelical academia.

	Evangelical Children's Novels Push Conversion of 'Spiritually Empty' Jews
		"Left Behind: The Kids," an ongoing series aimed at evangelical Christian children ages 10 to 14, revolves around the adventures of evangelical teenagers who band together to form the "Young Tribulation Force," a group dedicated to overcoming physical and spiritual dangers brought on by the End of Days.
		Evangelical leaders, on the other hand, have sought to downplay the importance of their messianic theology in explaining their pro-Israel activism, pointing instead to biblical verses declaring that the Holy Land belongs to the Jewish people.
		Parrett said that the evangelical movement has only recently, in the last 20 years, begun to understand its Jewish heritage, and this excitement is reflected in the focus on Jews in the children's books.

	Bleeding Hearts and Propaganda: Chapter Two
		Evangelicals share with Fundamentalists a desire to preserve the essentials of Christian Faith from the encroachment of Liberal scientism.
		Bemoaning the decline of evangelicalism in the wider church, liberal evangelicals have seen a major reason as being a lack of sensitivity to the modern age and its thought forms.
		The liberal evangelical is often inattentive to important distinctions in the notion of justice; he fails to see how his claims draw him into an unavoidable and dangerous dependence upon a coercive state; he is blind to the fact that many of his preferred programs to help the poor end up being self-defeating.

		Key passages and scenes show that unraptured characters engage in ritualistic self-humiliation, constantly thinking and proclaiming that their raptured friends and family members were "right" and that they, the left behind, were unworthy of their Christian friends and loved ones.
		While these generalizations have some basis in fact, they tend to obscure the fact that evangelical was itself originally a pejorative term—a curtailment of the phrase “neo-evangelicals” that fundamentalists used (and evangelicals appropriated) to describe the more moderate coalition that inherited and emerged from the attempts at fundamental coalitions of the 1920s (Marsden 62).
		That Bibles are banned from public school in Left Behind: The Kids is not meant to be a prediction of post-apocalypitc secularization for the benefit of secular readers but a lament of current secularization to be recognized by Christian readers.

		Although evangelicals often raise funds for their forays into mass media by promising to make converts, the real purpose of those raids may simply be to hold on to believers already made through procreation or proselytizing.
		And evangelical media, whatever we may think of their politics, or the virtues of alchemizing atheists into Christians, play an important part in doing just that.
		Left Behind evinces a new embrace of technology and consumer goods as tools for God's work, while retaining a protest against modernity's transformation of traditional family life.

		Many of the criticisms raised against capitalism by the evangelical left are familiar, and not unlike those raised by the secular left.
		In addition, evangelicals on the left raise a number of biblically based criticisms of capitalism, including the allegation that capitalism is inconsistent with much of the Mosaic legislation and with the teaching of Jesus (e.g.
		Gay finds that the center is moving leftward, exhibiting "a general movement away from the defense of the market economy and toward the advocacy of increased state involvement in economic and social life" because its members are increasingly becoming influenced by the intellectual culture which is secular and generally hostile toward capitalism and business activity.

	Systematic Theology and General Bible Doctrines - Book Reviews by Fred G. Zaspel
		One could have wished for a more thoroughly evangelical approach in some of the articles, but they are nonetheless historically accurate and precise.
		The book is primarily confined to the broader issues of contemporary discussion; but because of their enduring influence, discussions of men and works from previous generations (e.g., Jonathan Edwards) also find their way into the book also.
		The leftward movement of much of Evangelical theology (a la Pinnock, Grenz, Boyd) is – or at least, should be – disturbing, to say the least.

	Book Review
		The Evangelical Left: Encountering Postconservative Evangelical Theology by Millard J. Erickson, (Baker, 1997), 157 pp.
		As the author of what was the first new American conservative evangelical systematic theology in years, Erickson came to be known widely.
		He rightly points out that there have long been evangelical inclusivists (those who think that though salvation only comes through the work of Christ, one may not need to be consciously believing in Christ in order to savingly benefit from His work).

	VanguardChurch (the blog): Politics and the Christian Faith
		The "Left" column is filled with those who claim to follow Christ but define the Gospel primarily as social action--making the world a better place--without necessarily buying that Jesus is all that the "born-agains" claims he is.
		While it can be argued that the petition was a clear reaction against the Bush campaign, it can also be argued that the petition is biblical within an evangelical understanding of the gospel...in other words, the issues raised are worthy of evangelical discussion and can be believed by evangelicals who neither lean left nor right.
		Evangelicalism is overwhelmed by only one side of the story so much that somebody must provide some alternative views.
