On the boundaries of American Evangelicalism
the postwar Evangelical coalition
by Jon R. Stone
The American Evangelical movement consists of a vast and nearly indefinable coalitional movement of sometimes competing, sometimes cooperating denominations and independent churches whose ideological boundaries have been shifting since its postwar reemergence.
On the Boundaries of American Evangelicalism seeks to account for the emergence of this coalition of moderate Protestants in the 1940s and 1950s, as distinct from fundamentalism on the right and liberalism on the left, and speculates on the reasons for the fracturing and decline of that coalition since the 1960s.
Beyond recounting the history of postwar evangelicalism, this volume contributes to our understanding of ideological movements and the construction of boundaries and the shifts that occur within them over time.

First Sentence
"FROM THE ARRIVAL OF THE PILGRIMS AT PLYMOUTH plantation as a beacon of hope in the New World, to the satellite broadcasts of televangelists beaming the light Christian Gospel, evangelical Protestant religion has been a visible and defining presence in the history of the American people."
Work Description
American Evangelicalism is a vast and nearly indefinable coalition movement of sometimes competing, sometimes cooperating denominations and independent churches whose ideological boundaries have been shifting since its postwar reemergence. On the Boundaries of American Evangelicalism seeks to account for the emergence of this coalition of moderate Protestants in the 1940s and 1950s, as distinct from fundamentalism on the right and liberalism on the left, and speculate on the reasons for the fracturing and decline of that coalition in the 1960s to the 1990s. Beyond recounting the history of postwar evangelicalism, this volume's contribution is to our understanding of how movements define their coalitional boundaries and how coalitions change and reconstitute their boundaries over time.
