In recent years evangelical Christians have been increasingly
turning their attention toward issues such as the environment,
international human rights, economic development, racial
reconciliation, and urban renewal. Such engagement marks both a
return to historic evangelical social action and a pronounced
expansion of the social agenda advanced by the Religious Right in
the past few decades. For outsiders to evangelical culture, this
trend complicates simplistic stereotypes. For insiders, it brings
contention over what "true" evangelicalism means today. Beginning
with an introduction that broadly outlines this 'new
evangelicalism', the editors identify its key elements, trace its
historical lineage, account for the recent changes taking place
within evangelicalism, and highlight the implications of these
changes for politics, civic engagement, and American religion. The
essays that follow bring together an impressive interdisciplinary
team of scholars to map this new religious terrain and spell out
its significance in what is sure to become an essential text for
understanding trends in contemporary evangelicalism.
