American evangelicals today

de Corwin E. Smidt

Smidt assesses the contemporary social, religious, and political characteristics of evangelical Protestants today. He analyzes the extent to which evangelicals are divided today, and does so within the framework of four potential factors that might shape such divisions: racial/ethnic differences, generational differences, educational differences, and religious differences. Addressing how evangelicals have changed over time, Smidt looks toward the future, addressing generational differences and other possible factors for change among evangelical Protestants.
