What do evangelicals want? Marcia Pally attempts to answer that question for at least some evangelicals in a recent\u00a0essay<\/a>\u00a0at\u00a0The Immanent Frame titled\u00a0\u201cEvangelicals who have left the right.\u201d As with many previous pronouncements that something new\u2014less judgmental, more generous\u2014was afoot in evangelical-land, the little ripple of excitement around Pally\u2019s essay gives me a distinct sense of deja vu. \u201cThe Beginning of the End of Christianism?\u201d\u00a0asked<\/a>\u00a0Andrew Sullivan; \u201cThe End of the Religious Right?\u201d\u00a0pondered<\/a>\u00a0Walter Russell Mead.<\/span><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve heard that ripple before\u2014I watched Richard Cizik describe, in 2007, this \u201cslow-moving earthquake\u201d; in 2008 I covered a group of evangelicals unveiling \u201cThe Evangelical Manifesto\u201d that Pally makes much of, though I\u2019ve not heard a single person mention it since. Each election cycle since 2006 has generated a little burst of God-talk from Democrats in the hope of wooing disgruntled evangelicals from the GOP. It\u2019s slow, alright, and perhaps more of a rumble than a quake. And while the durability of a new movement is always difficult to assess when it\u2019s young, it is nonetheless already clear that the politics of the \u201cnew\u201d evangelicals are more complicated than its evangelists often portray.<\/span><\/div>\n
Pally\u2019s essay is an update of her 2011 book and\u00a0essay<\/a>\u00a0on the same subject, both of which appeared during the 2012 presidential campaign. In this latest essay she takes stock of evangelical voting trends in the election\u201479% of white evangelicals voted for Mitt Romney\u2014and seeks to persuade us, in spite of this rather homogeneous voting pattern, that they are not as monolithic as we might think.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
