American Evangelicals, the Changing Global Religious Environment, and Foreign Policy Activism

Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, US evangelicals have become increasingly globalized in their outlook, building from a recognition that evangelicalism, both nationally and internationally, is no longer centered on white Americans. As a result, the US evangelical community of the last 30 years has become more transnational in its outlook, and active on a variety of foreign policy issues. US evangelical activism on two issues serves to exemplify these changes: first is the persecuted Christians movement, particularly in relation to the civil war in Sudan in the early 2000s, and second is the debate over immigration after 2016.
