Résumé : |
Who are the evangelicals? Written off a few years ago as a backward, conservative, reactionary, life-denying, unscientific group of historical curiosities, evangelical Christians have recently surprised everyone by their massive growth in numbers worldwide. US Presidents, "born again” pop singers, scientists, artists and intellectuals all now claim to be evangelicals. The political influence of the evangelicals is to be felt in places as diverse as Chile and the USA, England and the Philippines. Where have there people come from - and what is it that gives them their strength?
The Evangelicals is the story of a two-thousand-year movement. Utilising scores of rare photographs, many never published before, and quoting dozens of original documents, The Evangelicals traces in a gripping and visually arresting way the fortunes of the evangelical movement throughout history. A unique gift book, it is also a valuable work of reference and ideal for use as a textbook. It deserves a place in the personal library, not only of Christians, but of all who want to understand the world today. |
