Yesterday, I finished reading the book, The American Evangelical Story, by Douglas Sweeney. He says that evangelicals are a movement of orthodox Protestants with an eighteenth-century twist. He says that the evangelical movement emerged from the Great Awakening. I think it was a good book. Has anyone else read it?
