The late evangelist Billy Graham – who is sometimes held up as the quintessential evangelical – was once asked 'what is evangelicalism?' In response, Graham said: "Actually, that’s a question I’d like to ask somebody too… The lines [have] become blurred… You go all the way from the extreme fundamentalists to the extreme liberals and, somewhere in between, there are the evangelicals.” 

The disparate nature of evangelicalism makes the movement and it's members difficult to define. In this episode of Ask I take a little extra time to canvas different ways of looking at "evangelicalism" before providing some brief commentary on the current state of the evangelical church, broadly considered.
