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.

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.
