![]() After World War II, Billy Graham, the revivalist preacher, attracted enormous crowds and tried to gather all Protestants under his big tent, but the civil rights movement and the social revolution of the '60s drove them apart again. A populist rebellion against the established churches, it became the dominant religious force in the country.ĭuring the 19th century, white evangelicals split apart dramatically, first North versus South and then, at the end of the century, modernist versus fundamentalist. The evangelical movement began in the revivals of the 18th and 19th centuries, known in America as the Great Awakenings. This groundbreaking book from Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Frances FitzGerald is the first to tell the powerful, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America - from the Puritan era to the 2016 presidential election. ![]() ![]() Longlisted for the National Book Award for Nonfiction ![]()
