Summary: Is evangelicalism a theological category? A cultural movement? A white religious brand? A diverse, global movement? What if the answer is all of the above?
Rather than seeking to impose one definition over all others, we should be more attentive to how evangelicalism has always been a dynamic, fluid movement, or series of movements, imagined and maintained through authority structures, alliances, organizations, distribution networks, and cultures of consumption, each drawing and enforcing the boundaries of “evangelicalism” for varying purposes. And we will be forced to contend with how our own work as scholars is implicated in this imaginative process.
