The end of evangelicalism?
View through CrossRef
Abstract
‘The end of evangelicalism?’ highlights the current state of evangelicalism. By the 2020s, many Americans had become disillusioned, even dismayed, over evangelical linkages to dubious politics. Controversies over issues as basic as sex, the Bible, mission, and evangelicalism’s very success posed threats which struck at the core of evangelical identity, purpose, and mission. Indeed, it was a conflict over what would previously have been universally viewed by evangelicals as a non-issue—right up until the late twentieth century—that took the greatest toll among evangelicals in Greater Britain and the United States while also challenging churches in Africa and beyond: same-sex marriage. Other challenges include consumerism and individualism.

Abstract
‘The end of evangelicalism?’ highlights the current state of evangelicalism.
By the 2020s, many Americans had become disillusioned, even dismayed, over evangelical linkages to dubious politics.
Controversies over issues as basic as sex, the Bible, mission, and evangelicalism’s very success posed threats which struck at the core of evangelical identity, purpose, and mission.
Indeed, it was a conflict over what would previously have been universally viewed by evangelicals as a non-issue—right up until the late twentieth century—that took the greatest toll among evangelicals in Greater Britain and the United States while also challenging churches in Africa and beyond: same-sex marriage.
Other challenges include consumerism and individualism.
