Evangelicalism in One Sentence
"An evangelical is someone who
embraces the solas of the Reformation (salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone, according to Scripture alone),
resonates with the emphasis on the new birth and the reviving work of the Spirit found in the Great Awakening,
believes in the complete trustworthiness of the Bible contra the liberals and modernists,
accepts the responsibility of world evangelization and social engagement as modeled by countless missionaries and reformers,
rejects the obscurantism that marked parts of fundamentalism,
and, in distinction to the pragmatists and postmoderns, affirms the importance of doctrinal propositions and the knowability of truth."
