      This is nothing but cherry-picking evangelical history combined with baseless wishful thinking. Don’t buy the hype. Evangelicals are not about to “redeem” themselves. We need to outvote them and drive them from power. https://rewire.news/religion-dispatches/2018/11/01/evangelical-pr-blitz-before-midterms-wont-fix-the-81-problem/ … #Exvangelical #EmptyThePews #Resisthttps://twitter.com/MillenPolitics/status/1059271323199856641 …

      Religious historian and Dartmouth Prof. Randall Balmer says by supporting Trump, evangelicals betrayed their own heritage. “For evangelicals, tarnished by their support for an amoral president, Nov. 6 could be the first step on the road to redemption.” https://millennialpolitics.co/the-evangelicals-road-to-redemption/ …

      I see what you’re saying, but I’m not convinced this guy is the enemy? He’s an Episcopal priest, has written much exposing the Religious Right (the Politico article on abortion is a go-to for me), and he’s correct that “evangelicalism” in the 19th century was very progressive.

      Much 19th-century evangelicalism was concerned with defending slavery; it wasn’t all abolitionists by a long shot. The SBC was born in the 19th century over slavery. But I’m not calling Randall Balmer, a well known scholar, an enemy. I’m just calling him wrong on this.

      This is where it's a little confusing. The theological ancestors of today's Evangelicalism was very much pro-slavery, but some of the "Campfire Revivalism" that is associated with Evangelicalism's history was abolitionist. On the more superficial side the style or worship...

          that many associate with Evangelicalism (raising hands while singing, informal-ness, etc.) was in the 1800's more aligned with political progressives (for the time). But Evangelicalism's theology comes from the "institutional" and "formal" pro-slavery Baptists and Presbyterians.

          But it's wrong to say that because modern Evangelicals get their trappings of church style from progressive-leaning 19th-Cenury Christians it means they're their theological descendants. Evangelicalism's theology is most directly descended from anti-abolitionist Protestants.

          Agreed. Dr. Balmer is trying to point to a self-identified “evangelicalism” of the past that was actually somewhat healthy as a model for those who can’t let go of the name but I agree it’s a flawed effort partly because there is nothing redeeming in actual modern evangelicalism.
