Summary: | This study examines the thesis suggested by James Hunter that left liberal political activists of evangelical religious persuasions represent a historical unique combination of politics and religion which can be best interpreted using New Class theory. Content analysis of a journal published in the 19th century is compared to content analysis by Hunter of Sojourners and The Other Side magazines. It is concluded that evangelical, left-liberal political activism is not historically limited to the appearance of New Class. An alternative framework for understanding evangelical political activism is suggested. |
