Good Faith Classic: What the Heck is an Evangelical? (with David French)

It's the 75th Good Faith episode and we're celebrating our "diamond" podcast by running back one of our first episodes. First released in November 2021, this episode is a "classic" (in our minds) because we define terms around several key questions that have recurred on Good Faith: "What is an 'evangelical?' Is it a set of religious beliefs, a set of cultural beliefs, or a set of political beliefs? How does evangelicalism compare with fundamentalism?" Is "evangelical" a term worth salvaging for Christians?"    Show Notes: The French Press: "Did Donald Trump Make the Church Great Again?" Pew Research Center: "More White Americans adopted than shed evangelical label during Trump presidency, especially his supporters" National Association of Evangelicals: "What is an Evangelical?" (including the Bebbington Quadrilateral) Barna: "Survey Explores Who Qualifies As an Evangelical" (including the 9-point Evangelical) Ryan Burge: "For White Evangelical Republicans, Approval of Trump is About Immigration more than Abortion" Ryan Burge: "Why 'Evangelical' is becoming another word for 'Republican'" The French Press: "The American Crisis of Selective Empathy"
