Wrapped up my @CalvinHistory Hist of American Evangelicalism class this week w/ a conversation w/ George Marsden, Nick Wolterstorff & Claire Wolterstorff. (Claire was a founding member of the EWC.) What a gift. Students stayed an hour over, processing what they’d heard…
Ken Paradis and I have edited a special issue of The Journal of American Culture: Apocalypse deferred: Evangelical imagination and the decline of White Christian America. Articles appeared online throughout March, but the full issue is now available 1/11 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1542734x/2…
Anyone working in American politics should understand how evangelicalism operates — I def recommend @Isaacbsharp’s book on how ‘evangelicalism’ became a political identity that absorbed dozens of unique Christian denominations axios.com/newsletters/ax…
They say we need to study history or we are destined to repeat it. Well, “Dispossessed” chronicles history that is being repeated. This interview with Dr. Isaac Sharp will open your eyes and, hopefully, initiate some change in our churches. Kindavangelical episode 11 is available
What can evangelical fiction tell us about the moral values of evangelical Christians? Quite a lot, actually. In a new article I use Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) to evaluate the ethics found in recent Christian bestsellers. /1
Hey look! I wrote about Black evangelicals, white evangelical culture, and the formerly evangelical rapper Lecrae. Check it out! Black evangelicals, white evangelicalism - Sharp - The Journal of American Culture - Wiley Online Library onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111…
@AndrewConnollyX Check out the other articles in the issue, such as Isaac Sharp’s “Black evangelicals, white evangelicalism” /24 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
Episode 11 of Kindavangelical is almost here! This one is about those who’ve been “shown the door’ and features my conversation with Dr. Isaac Sharp. This one is for all who’ve been kicked out, dispossessed. It will drop March 4th, please tell your friends!
I'll be in San Francisco on March 3 for a conversation with @FaithJusticeNet on Gender, Politics, & Justice, which will also be live-streamed! Check it out and join us in a couple of weeks! faithjustice.net/a-conversation…
Join us in person or online for this conversation in a couple of weeks! faithjustice.net/a-conversation…
Almost forgot to tell folks over here: I'll be in San Francisco on Sunday, March 3 with @FaithJusticeNet We'll have a conversation on "Gender, Politics, and Justice" based on my work in The Other Evangelicals. Check it out in person and online!
Gentle reminder to all the professors out there teaching history, religion, evangelicalism, US Christianity, theology, ethics, etc. The Other Evangelicals makes a great course text and I would love to come speak in your classes!!

There are an increasing number of non-Christians who are describing themselves as evangelical on surveys. It could be survey error. But that's hard to believe when the data indicates that Republican non-Christians are more likely to say they are evangelicals.

One of my future books will be a history of queer ordination movements. What a joy to see this history being made today.
Grading final papers today & just read a terrific analysis of how Christianity Today has covered Israel/Palestine from the 1st issue to the present in editorials, ads for Holy Land tours, in substituting biblical names/borders for contemporary ones, & covering Palestinian Chrs.
Weird how the founding story of every megachurch is 5 families in prayer weeping over the city & God growing their church through 99% new conversions. Just once I wanna hear a pastor say “We got all this money, hired the best band, & got 95% of our growth from other churches.”
Here's a big warning sign for the future of evangelicalism. Since 1900, the share of people who were currently evangelical was larger than the share who were raised evangelical. That means evangelicals were converting non-evangelicals. That trend stopped ~15 years ago.
Ken Paradis and I have edited a special issue of The Journal of American Culture: Apocalypse deferred: Evangelical imagination and the decline of White Christian America. Articles appeared online throughout March, but the full issue is now available 1/11 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/1542734x/2…

This week, @roxyleestone and @KatelynBeaty bring you the hot takes from the @ReligionReport conference, featuring @reachjulieroys @kateshellnutt and @RiccardiSwartz - with scandalous religion, a daring provocation and some receipts from the manosphere. religionnews.com/2024/04/25/spi…
@Isaacbsharp @CalvinHistory I reminded them of that yesterday! They’re due tomorrow night.
For the past 4 months, the highlight of every week has been the hours I spend with these students. Bright, curious, diligent, deeply insightful. They are the best part of my job and probably also what keeps me from succumbing to cynicism. Grateful for my time with them.
Meanwhile, students have been hard at work doing primary research. Projects include contrasting Calvin Uni’s approach to lgbtq issues to mainstream evangelicalism, a review of CT’s treatment of Israel/Palestine, Chr homeschooling in MI, & shifting evangelical views of Amish.
We also met w/ @jimwallis, whom we’d read about in Sharp’s chapter on the evangelical left, w/ the added bonus of meeting Ken Medema that night.
Wrapped up my @CalvinHistory Hist of American Evangelicalism class this week w/ a conversation w/ George Marsden, Nick Wolterstorff & Claire Wolterstorff. (Claire was a founding member of the EWC.) What a gift. Students stayed an hour over, processing what they’d heard…
Other highlights include a fabulous Zoom conversation w/ @Isaacbsharp, author of THE OTHER EVANGELICALS, one of our class readings.
NEW: University of Texas-Austin faculty are condemning the response to yesterday's pro-Palestine rally, in which 57 people were arrested. Meanwhile, a second rally is slated to begin at noon today. @TexasTribune texastribune.org/2024/04/25/ut-…
I’m en route to UT-Austin now. Will tweet when possible but in the meantime follow @TexasTribune and check the below story for updates.
The latest from UT-Austin, where police continue to detain/arrest students (and at least one journalist): texastribune.org/2024/04/24/ut-…
Anybody interested in possibly putting together a panel on studying mainline institutions when you've grown up in them? I feel like there have been a lot of conversations like this for evangelicals, but I'd love to explore this with other kids-of-the-mainline.
Attention @faithandhistory friends: we've had a great response already to our call for papers for #CFH2024. But to ensure that as many Christian historians as possible can present, we're going to extend the submission deadline to May 15th. faithandhistory.org/conferences/
