The Christian Movement That Reshaped American Politics - Evangelicals

Описание: Evangelical Christianity is one of the most influential religious movements in the modern world, especially in the United States. Today the word “evangelical” is often associated with American politics, culture wars, and the powerful religious voting blocs that shape national elections.

But the movement itself began centuries earlier.

The origins of evangelicalism go back to early Protestant reformers who believed Christianity had become corrupt and needed to return to the authority of the Bible and a personal relationship with God. Over time, these ideas spread across Europe and later exploded in America through massive revival movements known as the Great Awakenings.

What started as a spiritual revival focused on personal faith eventually grew into one of the largest and most influential religious movements in the world.
