 Donald Trump is a 'spiritual danger,' evangelical writers warnHow Trump's strong play for Hispanic evangelicals helped him stun Biden in  Florida

From eighteenth-century Great Awakening revivals to twenty-first-century presidential campaigns, evangelicals—and Pentecostal and Charismatic movements within evangelicalism—have played a vital role in shaping American cultural, social, and political institutions. Who are evangelicals? What do they believe? How do they behave? Should non-evangelicals be worried about them? This course explores the causes, nature, and implications of evangelical influence through the lenses of history, literature, and religious studies—drawing upon fiction, poetry, autobiography, music, television, film, ethnography, and food. The course fulfills CASE A&H & DUS requirements.
