I read last week that the term “evangelical” was a term invented in the 50s or 60s to somehow pigeonhole, divide, and separate Christians. Before that time no one ever used the term, and most Christians never even mulled the concept.
The term was invented by leftists who hated Christianity.
Sorta like how the term “Capitalism” was invented by Marx when there was already a valid descriptor known as “the free market”.
While that may be true, it was appropriated to be a distinction from the liberal wings of certain denominations. Like the term deplorable, and even Christian.
The Free market is a sub-set of Capitalism. Free market is mainly concerned with wealth exchange while capitalism leans more on wealth creation.
