The first in our mini-series on Exvangelicalism. It makes sense to start by asking what Evangelicalism is!

Professor Mark Noll is one of the world’s leading experts on the history of Evangelicalism. In this interview, we ask him questions like:

• When did Evangelicalism begin?
• How has the word “Evangelical” changed its meaning over time?
• Why have people abandoned Evangelicalism in the past?

Over 400 million people in the world are classed as Evangelicals. In the USA, their association with the Republican Party has led to a lot of people rejecting the label and yet remaining quasi-Evangelical in their spirituality. Since 2016 they have come to be known as “Exvangelicals” or “Post-Evangelicals.” Who are they and why are they significant for global Christianity? How are they putting pressure on the term “Evangelical” and contributing to its changing meaning?

This episode launches the next mini-series which is all about these questions!
