From the Great Awakening to the presidency of George W. Bush,
evangelicalism has played a critical role in shaping American
cultural and political institutions.  Who are evangelicals?  What do
they believe, and how do they behave?  Should non-evangelicals be
worried about them?  This graduate seminar explores the causes,
nature and implications of evangelical influence.  Discussions
engage critical readings in the historical emergence and dramatic
recent growth of evangelical and charismatic Christianity in the
United States, with comparative attention to Canada and Latin
America.
