Ep. 9 / How Evangelicalism Shaped America: From Revival Movements to Political Conservatism ► Mark Noll

Have you ever wondered how evangelicalism shaped American history and continues to influence our society today? Join us on evangelical 360 as esteemed historian Mark Noll takes us on a journey through the evolution of evangelicalism, from its roots in the Protestant Reformation to its role in re-Christianizing post-revolution America. We'll uncover the critical impact of Methodist revival movements and explore the divisive effects of the Civil War on evangelical unity. Plus, we'll examine how the intertwining of evangelicalism with American political conservatism over the last two decades has redefined the term "evangelical."

Our conversation doesn't stop there. We'll tackle the complex balance between advocating for a Christian-influenced society and staying true to the Christian faith itself. Reflecting on historical and theological misconceptions about the United States as a "Christian nation," we highlight the importance of Christian engagement in public life without compromising religious principles. Special guest Mark Noll offers his unique insights on the history and influence of evangelicalism in North America, emphasizing the need for thoughtful Christian participation in societal issues. Tune in for a compelling discussion that challenges conventional wisdom and invites you to rethink the role of faith in the public sphere.
