Publisher's Synopsis
Evangelical Fundamentalists are Christians who adhere to a set of beliefs derived from a branch of Christianity that originated in sixteenth-century Europe. While they are found in many denominations throughout the world, they hold to these doctrines: 1)The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God; 2)God created the world and every living creature in it; 3)Jesus Christ was born of the Virgin Mary as a miracle produced by the Holy Spirit; 4) Only those who believe in Jesus as Savior and Lord will God raise from the dead to enjoy eternal life with him. Their understanding of the Bible leads them to view reality based on what they believe is biblical truth. Many Evangelicals impose their values on society and in the political arena. Because they believe an LGBTQ lifestyle is sinful, according to the Bible, they oppose extending civil rights to them. They are committed to electing people into public office who promote their social agenda.
