Good points. I think the first evangelical resurgence was powered by preachers from the American south. They brought with them their values, which were traditional southern values but not necessarily New Testament values. They wanted a party to save them from homosexuals, womens lib, and race mixing. Income inequality and the environment weren’t on the radar for them. as Evangelicalism has become popular out side the south the movement is pushing for concerns outside the boundaries of Alabama and Georgia. And if the government can use its might against homosexuals and abortionist can it not also use that force to encourage charity and stewardship of God’s Earth? I don’t think the Republican party can believe that it owns Christianity.
