What’s an Evangelical?

I’ve been wanting to know that since the Left invented that term 10 years ago to refer to Christians of some sort.

Seems rather strange to combine evangicals and mormons and leave out all others.

"...since the Left invented that term 10 years ago to refer to Christians of some sort."

Oh stop.
It's a term from the 1500's to designate Christian churches that emphasize the teachings and authority of the Scriptures, as opposed to the institutional "authority" of the Church machine.
And stressing that salvation is achieved (only) by personal faith in Jesus Christ as savior.

I am sure neither the author nor anyone else at the NYT knows what an Evangelical or a devout Christian is.

They just make up things like this to insult and ridicule people of faith.
