- Authors
Shriver, Peggy L.
- Abstract
The article provides an overview of the U.S. evangelicalism and its involvement in international affairs. It mentions that earlier evangelicals were not concerned about world affairs and they concentrated on issues like abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, family values and creationism. Now Christians of the U.S. are focusing on human rights, world peace and moral foreign policy due to Israel's fate. Many evangelicals and fundamentalists believe in the gospels of the Bible and the U.S. has several groups with different policies of evangelicalism and fundamentalism to work on current issues. They are moving towards the foreign issues like human rights and economic justice and encouraging their world church neighbors.
