Mark Noll, a retired historian from Wheaton College and the University of Notre Dame, dives into the rich and complex history of evangelicalism since 1924. He explores the fundamentalist-modernist controversy that shaped this movement and its evolving relationship with American politics, especially the shift of white evangelicals to the Republican side. Noll emphasizes the need to move beyond stereotypes of fundamentalism, urging a deeper understanding of faith and culture, while highlighting the enduring influence of early church teachings on contemporary evangelical thought.
