Evangelical is indeed an embattled term. For Dupont, evangelical is a unifying theological term denoting Christians, regardless of denomination, who are united by their belief in sin as a personal moral failure (not systemic), the primacy of individual conversion, final authority of the Bible, and the return of Christ. On defining evangelicals and evangelicalism see, for example, George M. Marsden, Understanding Fundamentalism and Evangelicalism (Grand Rapids, Mich.: W. B. Eerdmans, 1991); Mark A. Noll, The Rise of Evangelicalism: The Age of Edwards, Whitefield, and the Wesleys (Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 2003). Historian David Bebbington offers a succinct definition in "What is an Evangelical," National Association of Evangelicals, accessed July 6, 2014, https://www.nae.net/church-and-faith-partners/what-is-an-evangelical.
