520 |a Omri Elisha explores the multifaceted nature of the moral ambitions espoused by attendees of two evangelical megachurches in Knoxville, Tennessee. Through detailed ethnographic research focusing on each megachurch's social outreach programs, and similarly focused faith-based nonprofits in the region, Elisha explores the tensions, ambivalence, and identity work experienced by “socially engaged evangelicals,” who are defined as “pastors and churchgoers who draw strong associations between religiosity and social conscience, and are notably active (either professionally or as volunteers) in promoting and participating in various forms of organized benevolence” (7–8). Four ideal types of evangelical social activism are presented to the reader: Apostle, Teacher, Prophet, and Missionary.
