This report is a project of the USC Center for Religion and Civic Culture in partnership with the Knight Program in Media and Religion. Its impetus was our dissatisfaction with how “evangelicalism” was being defined following the election of Donald Trump. Because of that dissatisfaction, CRCC convened our staff and fellows to think through the different possible types, or varieties, of evangelicalism that we could identify. As with most projects at CRCC, this was a collaborative effort.
