Book: The rise and fall of the Evangelicals

Clockwise from top left: Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), preacher and theologian, Rick Warren, leader of the Saddleback Church, Billy Graham, towering figure among 20th-century evangelicals, George Whitfield (1714-1770), who was called the father of modern revivalism.

The Evangelicals: The Struggle to Shape America, Frances Fitzgerald, Simon and Shuster, 2017, 740 pages, $35.

Although a child of evangelicalism (my father J.H. Hunter was the longtime editor of a magazine The Evangelical Christian), I learned much about the origins and development of evangelicalism from this incisive and fascinating book by Pulitzer Prize winning author Frances Fitzgerald.
