Reihe: The Future of Religion in America

Evangelicalism has, since the 1960s, outpaced mainline Protestantism to encompass more than a third of American adults and nearly half of all U.S. Christians. Thematic chapters on culture, spirituality, theology, politics, and ethnicity reveal sources of the movement's dynamism, as well as significant challenges confronting the rising generations. This collaborative undertaking by scholars of history, religious studies, theology, political science, and ethnic studies offers unique insight into a vibrant and sometimes controversial movement, the future of which is closely tied to the future of America.
