Introduction
Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm,ˌɛvæn-,-ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within ProtestantChristianity that puts primary emphasis on evangelization. The word evangelic comes from the Greek word for 'good news' (euangelion). The Gospel story of the salvation from sin is considered "the good news". The process of personal conversion involves complete surrender to Jesus Christ (commonly referred to being "born again"). The conversion process is authoritatively guided by the Bible, the God in Christianity's revelation to humanity. Critics of the conceptualization of evangelicalism, argue that it is too broad, too diverse, or too ill-defined to be adequately seen as a movement or a single movement.
Evangelicalism has long had a presence in the Anglosphere before spreading further afield in the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries. The movement gained significant momentum during the 18th and 19th centuries with the Great Awakening in the United States, and also in Great Britain's reformations. (Full article...)
