- Summary:
- This title provides a history of the diverse, small, and yet dynamic progressive evangelical Christianity native to the United States. Focusing on the religious and politically inclined evangelical groups that emerged in the 1960s, prior to the rise of today's far larger and more visible Christian Right, the book roots the development of left-leaning evangelical groups in a broad nineteenth-century tradition of reformist evangelicalism.
