Thomas S. Kidd, The History of a Movement in Crisis
American Religion 2, no. 1 (Fall 2020), pp. 201–204 Copyright © 2020, The Trustees of Indiana University • doi: 10.2979/amerreli.2.1.22 Book Review Thomas S. Kidd, Who Is an Evangelical?

Jesus and John Wayne
A scholar of American Christianity answers perhaps the most bewildering question of our time: Why are evangelicals "the Donald's" most fervent supporters? Donald Trump is a libertine who lacks even basic knowledge of the Christian faith. Yet in 2016 he won 81 percent of the white evangelical vote, and continues to rely on white evangelicals as his base of support. While we assume the religious right has pragmatic reasons for backing Trump, in tru…
My Brother’s Keeper
Long overshadowed by historians’ preoccupation with the influence conservative evangelicals have wielded on the national stage, the scholarship on progressive faith traditions is now coming into its own. Alongside works like David R. Swartz’s Moral Minority and Jill K. Gill’s Embattled Ecumenism, Lempke’s history of George McGovern and his failed 1972 presidential campaign provides an engaging account of the other side—of the fate of progressive …
A New Gospel for Women
This title tells the story of Katharine Bushnell (1855-1946), a remarkable figure in the history of Anglo-American social reform, women's rights, and feminist theology. A book of history, biography, and historical theology, 'A New Gospel for Women' demonstrates both the promises and perils of Christian feminism - particularly the challenges confronting those today who wish to construct a sexual ethic that is both Christian and feminist, and one s…
Heathen Slaves, Christian Rulers
This chapter traces how Bushnell’s growing feminist consciousness emerged as a result of her international anti-trafficking efforts, and how her work on behalf of women the world over contributed to her growing suspicions of traditional Christianity. Recounting the 1891–1893 anti-prostitution campaign Bushnell launched in British India in her capacity as a World evangelist for the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), and in coordination wit…
The Beauty of the Lilies
In the 1920s, a child evangelist by the name of Uldine Utley toured the United States, attracting large crowds and captivating the press. She enjoyed the support of ministers from a wide variety of denominations, though her most ardent proponent was the famous fundamentalist preacher John Roach Straton. In many ways, Utley's success seems to counter existing narratives of early-twentieth-century religious history. Her revivalist ministry develope…
