American Evangelicalism
Jon R. Stone, a lecturer in religious studies in the Division
of Undergraduate and Interdisciplinary Studies, is author of the
new book On the Boundaries of American Evangelicalism: The Postwar
Evangelical Coalition.
Published by St. Martins Press, the book, says scholar Benton
Johnson, is a fascinating account of how the theological discourse
of those who created Americas postwar neo-evangelical coalition
was shaped by their determination to create a religious community
that was neither fundamentalist nor modernist.
Beyond recounting the history of postwar evangelicalism, the book
contributes to an understanding of ideological movements and the
construction of boundaries and the shifts that occur within them
over time.
