| Summary: | This article presents an analysis of some contemporary trends and developments in evangelical theologies and movements. This is of importance to members of Christian groups, Christian leaders and academics, since we have seen how forms of evangelicalism have shifted political realities, split historical denominations and altered global perspectives on Christianities. The article argues that contemporary trends and developments in evangelical theologies are mediated in relation to shifts in, and challenges to, social identity construction and the social location of evangelicals. This claim is illustrated by explicating some more notable examples of how evangelical theologies, and evangelical identities, operate in contemporary public life. It is shown that evangelical theologies have developed in relation to changes in views on gender identities, political identities, multiculturalism and religious diversity. These are relatable, in some ways, to the effects of globalization and the proliferation of social media. The article concludes with a discussion of two possible outcomes for evangelical theologies and evangelicalism. |
