How evangelicalism is transformingand being transformed byAmerican cultureIn this provocative look at evangelicalism in the United States, Mark A. Shibley tests the widely ascribed "southernization of American religion" thesis, or the idea that the recent resurgence of bornagain Christianity represents the spread of southernstyle religion from the historically conservative, Protestant South to America's mainstream. While confirming a link between evangelicalism's initial growth and the diffusion of southernstyle religion, Shibley uncovers a reciprocity in the relationship between evangelicalism and secularism. He demonstrates that even as evangelicalism changes the face of American culture, it is transformed by its encounter with secularism.The price of success for bornagain Christianity, according to Shibley, is cultural accommodation. He argues that evangelicalism forfeits some of its "southernness"including its moral strictnessin order to thrive outside the South, and he contends that congregations that embrace secular elements of the surrounding culture grow more rapidly than those that hold tightly to traditional evangelical beliefs.Shibley predicts that evangelicalism outside the South will increasingly shape itself to meet individual rather than collective needs and that the restructuring of American religion and culture will follow a publictoprivate, rather than liberaltoconservative, continuum. Disagreeing with some recent obituaries of the New Christian Right, he suggests that evangelicalism will continue to have a significant effect on American culture in the foreseeable future, but not in the domineering way once feared by the liberal cultural establishment.
