#1 The modern American evangelicalism that so many people are abandoning was a brilliant social construction that over decades yielded something like a real religious community. The fallout of the invention of this evangelical identity has been profound.

#2 The term evangelical was not created out of whole cloth in 1942 when the National Association of Evangelicals was created. It was originally used to describe Protestants in Europe, Puritans and Methodists in England, and revivalists and Pietists in everywhere.

#3 The term evangelical is derived from the New Testament term evangelion, which means gospel or good news. It has always been used to contrast other versions of Christianity, which were believed to be less than ideal.

#4 The modern evangelical movement was born out of the separation of these two main Protestant groups, mainline and fundamentalists. The fundamentalists were worried about the liberals in mainline denominations, and the evangelicals were worried about the fundamentalists.
