Matthew Bowman explores the world of a neglected group of American
Christians: self-identified liberal evangelicals who began in the
late nineteenth century to reconcile traditional evangelical
spirituality with progressive views on social activism and
theological questions. These evangelicals emphasized both the
importance of supernatural conversion experience, but also argued
that science, art, and relieving the poverty created by a new
industrial economy could facilitate encounters with Christ. The
Urban Pulpit chronicles the struggle of liberal evangelicals
against conservative Protestants, who questioned their theological
sincerity, and against secular reformers, who grew increasingly
devoted to the cause of cultural pluralism and increasingly
suspicious of evangelicals over the course of the twentieth
century. Liberal evangelicals walked a difficult path, facing
increasing polarization in twentieth-century American public life:
both conservative evangelicals and secular reformers insisted that
religion and science, and evangelical Christianity and cultural
diversity, were necessarily at odds. Liberal evangelicals rejected
such simple dichotomies, but nonetheless found defending their
middle way increasingly difficult. Drawing on history,
anthropology, and religious studies, Bowman paints a complex
portrait of a group of religious believers at work, at worship, and
engaged in advocacy in the public square.
