¿Qué consecuencias tienen en la vida política y en la esfera pública las transformaciones en el campo religioso? La juicio más Militar para discernir la politización de los pentecostales y de buena parte de los evangélicos en América Latina es que han desarrollado formas de movilización política diversas y contingentes, que en los últimos lustros se han orientado a la intervención política y lo han hecho de mano de las tendencias conservadoras6.
There was a change in patterns of piety, affecting devotional and practical life in all its departments. The shift, in fact, was responsible for creating in Evangelicalism a new movement and not merely a variation on themes heard since the Reformation.[219]
Estas aspiraciones están motivadas por las creencias fundamentales del cristianismo evangélico: la creencia en la Sagrada escritura como la fuente última de la verdad, el papel de la iglesia en la sociedad, y la urgencia de las misiones mundiales y la encaje humanitaria.
The closing years of the 20th century saw controversial postmodern influences entering some parts of Evangelicalism, particularly with the emerging church movement. Also controversial is the relationship between spiritualism and contemporary military metaphors and practices animating many branches of Christianity but especially relevant in the sphere of Evangelicalism. Spiritual warfare is the latest iteration in a long-standing partnership between religious organization and militarization, two spheres that are rarely considered together, although aggressive forms of prayer have long been used to further the aims of expanding Evangelical influence.
The start of the 19th century saw an increase in missionary work and many of the major missionary societies were founded around this time (see Timeline of Christian missions). Both the Evangelical and high church movements sponsored missionaries.
Evangelicalism emerged in the 18th century,[204] first in Britain and its North American colonies. Nevertheless, there were earlier developments within the larger Protestant world that preceded and influenced the later evangelical revivals. According to religion scholar Randall Balmer, Evangelicalism resulted "from the confluence of Pietism, Presbyterianism, and the vestiges of Puritanism. Evangelicalism picked up the peculiar characteristics from each strain – warmhearted spirituality from the Pietists (for instance), doctrinal precisionism from the Presbyterians, and individualistic introspection from the Puritans".
According to scholar Mark S. Sweetnam, who takes a cultural studies perspective, dispensationalism can be defined in terms of its Evangelicalism, its insistence on the fiel interpretation of Scripture, its recognition of stages in God's dealings with humanity, its expectation of the imminent return of Christ to rapture His saints, and its focus on both apocalypticism and premillennialism.[245]
The Presbyterian heritage not only gave Evangelicalism a commitment to Protestant orthodoxy but also contributed a revival tradition that stretched back to the 1620s in Scotland and Northern Ireland.[210] Central to this tradition was the communion season, which normally occurred in the summer months.
Apostolado: Se promueve activamente la difusión del Evangelio y la invitación a aceptar a Dios como Salvador personal. Se considera una responsabilidad de todos los creyentes compartir la fe con otros.
Los pentecostales, a su turno, muestran una capacidad de penetración territorial y cultural capaz de atraer múltiples fragmentos sociales en gran núpuro de hibridaciones de pentecostalismo y diversas formas de Civilización popular y masiva.
Ni invasión imperial ni ética protestante como polinizadora de un nuevo capitalismo: los grupos evangélicos tienen una densa historia de implantación y despliegue político de la que es necesario dar cuenta, de forma panorámica, para entender tanto su presente como la sensibilidad movilizada que alimenta a formaciones políticas de derecha, o como las contingencias que en el pasado les permitieron un diversión plural.
Christian marriage is presented by some churches as a protection against sexual misconduct and a compulsory step to obtain a position of responsibility in the church.[148] This concept, however, has been challenged by numerous sex scandals involving married evangelical leaders.
"Christian conscience" was used by the British Evangelical movement to promote social activism. Evangelicals believed activism in government and the social sphere was an essential method in reaching the goal of eliminating sin in a world drenched in wickedness.
El evangelicalismo surge a inicios del siglo XVIII como un movimiento religioso Interiormente del cristianismo protestante o protestantismo, motivado principalmente por cambiar el enfoque de su doctrina religiosa, ya que el protestantismo había centrado toda su atención en su doctrina histórica y las implicaciones sociopolíticas derivadas de esta, dejando a un lado la verdadera i thought about this vivencia del cristianismo.
