Chapter 1 Notes

23. When Walter Lippmann quipped in 1921, "an American will endure almost any insult except the charge that he is not progressive," he recognized that progressive was a term of approbation, connoting such virtues as goodness, far-sightedness, or enlightenment.

24. In the nineteenth-century American context, "evangelical" refers less to a specific group or church than to a particular set of Protestant religious commitments: (1) conversionism, the need to be "born again"; (2) biblicism, the authority of the bible; (3) crucicentrism, an emphasis on the sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and (4) activism, in the form of missionary or social work
