Original evangelicalism
View through CrossRef
Abstract
‘Original evangelicalism’ discusses the precursors of evangelicalism. Evangelicals differ from Catholics and Orthodox Christians in that they champion the Bible as the supremely authoritative guide to faith and life. Indeed, the self-understanding of evangelicals tends to leap directly from the pages of the Bible to the Reformation of the sixteenth century. The topics of Puritanism and Pietism are also worthy of consideration. There are a number of notable “ur-evangelicals,” including Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, and John Wesley. For evangelicals, genuine Christianity is focused on the evangel, purified from ecclesiastical and social errors, and gratefully dutiful in obeying, and extending the influence of, the Word of God.
