Evangelicalism

===Progressive evangelicals===
Evangelicals dissatisfied with the movement's fundamentalism mainstream have been variously described as progressive evangelicals, postconservative evangelicals, [[open evangelical]]s and [[post-evangelicalism|postevangelicals]]. Progressive evangelicals, also known as the [[evangelical left]], share theological or social views with other [[Progressive Christianity|progressive Christians]] while also identifying with evangelicalism. Progressive evangelicals commonly advocate for women's equality, [[pacifism]] and [[social justice]].{{sfn|Marsden|1991|p=75}}

As described by Baptist theologian [[Roger E. Olson]], postconservative evangelicalism is a theological school of thought that adheres to the four marks of evangelicalism, while being less rigid and more inclusive of other Christians.<ref name="OlsonCentury">Roger E. Olson, [http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=85 "Postconservative Evangelicals Greet the Postmodern Age"] {{Webarchive| url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160101003723/http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=85 |date= January 1, 2016 }}, ''The Christian Century'' (May 3, 1995), pp. 480–483. Retrieved December 16, 2014.</ref> According to Olson, postconservatives believe that doctrinal truth is secondary to spiritual experience shaped by [[Scripture]]. Postconservative evangelicals seek greater dialogue with other Christian traditions and support the development of a multicultural evangelical theology that incorporates the voices of women, racial minorities, and Christians in the developing world. Some postconservative evangelicals also support [[open theism]] and the possibility of near [[universal salvation]].

The term "open evangelical" refers to a particular Christian school of thought or [[churchmanship]], primarily in Great Britain (especially in the [[Church of England]]).{{sfn|Randall|2005|p=52}} Open evangelicals describe their position as combining a traditional evangelical emphasis on the nature of scriptural authority, the teaching of the ecumenical creeds and other traditional doctrinal teachings, with an approach towards culture and other [[theology|theological]] points-of-view which tends to be more inclusive than that taken by other evangelicals. Some open evangelicals aim to take a middle position between conservative and charismatic evangelicals, while others would combine conservative theological emphases with more liberal social positions.

British author Dave Tomlinson coined the phrase ''postevangelical'' to describe a movement comprising various trends of dissatisfaction among evangelicals. Others use the term with comparable intent, often to distinguish evangelicals in the [[emerging church movement]] from postevangelicals and antievangelicals. Tomlinson argues that "linguistically, the distinction ''[between evangelical and postevangelical]'' resembles the one that sociologists make between the [[modernism|modern]] and [[postmodernism|postmodern]] eras".{{sfn|Tomlinson|2007|p=28}}
