About this video
Runtime: 31 minsDavid Hilborn discusses the distinctive characteristics of Evangelicalism and its origins and growth. He explores the importance of the Protestant Reformation, Puritanism, Pietism and the religious revivals. Evangelicalism is a movement transcending denominational boundaries, characterized by its cultural and theological dimensions. Evangelicalism emphasizes four main tenets: Biblicism, focusing on the primacy of scripture; cruciocentrism, centring on Jesus Christ’s sacrificial death; conversionism, stressing personal conversion and a relationship with Jesus; and activism, involving social reform and evangelism. Historically rooted in the Protestant Reformation, Puritanism, and German Pietism, evangelicalism seeks to return to a pure, scripture-based Christianity, claiming an authentic expression of New Testament faith.
