Politics and Evangelical Christians

A recent survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that among American religious groups, evangelical support of President Donald Trump remains strong. According to the Pew Center's report, "Roughly seven-in-ten white evangelical Protestants (69%) say they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president." Other religious groups are less supportive, though Catholics are still more in favor of President Trump than the religiously unaffiliated. On April 8, 2019, Randall Balmer and John Fea will discuss this evangelical relationship with President Trump, and general evangelical engagement with politics in a panel discussion entitled "Politics and Evangelical Christians," held at Gordon-Conwelll Theological Seminary.
