Introduction
Evangelicalism (/ˌiːvænˈdʒɛlɪkəlɪzəm,ˌɛvæn-,-ən-/), also called evangelical Christianity or evangelical Protestantism, is a worldwide interdenominational movement within ProtestantChristianity that emphasizes the centrality of sharing the "good news" of Christianity, being "born again" in which an individual experiences personal conversion, as authoritatively guided by the Bible, God's revelation to humanity. The word evangelic comes from the Greek word for 'good news' (euangelion).
The movement has long had a presence in the Anglosphere before spreading further afield in the 19th, 20th, and early 21st centuries. The movement gained significant momentum during the 18th and 19th centuries with the Great Awakening in the United States and Great Britain. (Full article...)
