The evangelical movement is a branch of Christianity that emphasizes the importance of personal faith in Jesus Christ, the authority of the Bible, and the necessity of sharing one's faith with others. Evangelicals often focus on the concept of being "born again," which signifies a personal transformation and commitment to following Christ. This movement has roots in the 18th and 19th centuries, influenced by the Great Awakening and various revivalist leaders. Evangelicals are known for their active engagement in social issues, missionary work, and community service, aiming to spread their beliefs both locally and globally.
