REL 64 Evangelicalism
A survey of the history and theology of evangelicalism, America’s folk religion, from its origins in the confluence of the “three P’s”—Puritanism, Presbyterianism, and Pietism—in the Great Awakening to the construction of the evangelical subculture following the Scopes Trial to the present. We’ll examine evangelical millennial ideas as well as attitudes toward women, minorities, society, and politics. Open to all.
