evangelical fervor
Proselytizing religious intensity
Evangelical fervor is intense religious enthusiasm, particularly the passionate zeal to spread Christian faith and convert others.
The phrase extends beyond religion to describe any crusading intensity: She pursued environmental causes with evangelical fervor.
The fervor suggests not just belief but urgent commitment to convincing others—sometimes admiringly, sometimes suggesting excessive or unwelcome proselytizing.
