Neo-evangelicalism is defined by being theologically conservative, like the fundamentalists, but far more willing to engage the modern world and theolgical liberals in a more constructive way. It values engagement without accomodation.

Examples of neo-evangelicalism would be Ockenga, Billy Graham, and Christianity Today. Wheaton College is a big center of it today, and most parachurch ministries are neo-evangelical too (e.g. Campus Crusade).
