³ This definition of evangelicalism is an expansion of my discussion in Utzinger, J. Michael, Yet Saints Their Watch Are Keeping: Fundamentalists, Modernists, and the Development of Evangelical Ecclesiology, 1887–1937 (Macon, GA: Mercer University Press, 2006), 6–7.Google Scholar I should note that this definition is broader than the definition employed by David Bebbington, primarily because I believe that his definition misses the importance of pneumatology and tends to leave out liberal evangelicals in the Bushnellian tradition.
