American Evangelicals Today

American Evangelicals Todayprovides a broad overview of evangelical Protestants in the United States. We may think we understand this often-profiled group, but our pictures are usually drawn from mass media accounts or stereotypes. American Evangelicals Today draws on extensive research and survey data to paint an accurate picture of this influential religious group, including social, religious, and political characteristics, and how evangelicals compare to other religious groups. The book also looks at generational differences and possibilities for future change. The paperback edition features a new Preface that brings the analysis of American evangelicals up to the present day.
