Have you ever wondered why American Evangelicalism is the way it is? Why the loud music? Why the emotionalism? Why the fads and stunts? Why the emphasis on you: your decision for Jesus, your testimony, your transformed life? This video will help you see that the church growth movement, the mega church phenomenon, the entertainment-driven worship service, and just about everything else characteristic of American Evangelicalism has its source in a 19th-century theologian who believed that Jesus' death on the cross did not atone for your sins. His name is Charles Finney.
