evangelical movement

Revival-focused Protestant tradition

The evangelical movement is a broad Protestant Christian movement emphasizing personal conversion (being "born again"), the authority of the Bible, and active evangelism—sharing faith to win converts.

In American usage, the term often carries political connotations, associated with conservative positions on social issues: The evangelical movement became a powerful force in Republican politics.

Globally, the movement spans denominations and encompasses diverse theological and political views.
