In typical usage, the term <i>mainline</i> is contrasted with <i>evangelical</i>. Most adherents consider the key characteristics of evangelicalism to be: a belief in the need for personal conversion (or being "<a href="/wiki/Born_again_Christianity" class="mw-redirect" title="Born again Christianity">born again</a>"); some expression of the gospel in effort; a high regard for <a href="/wiki/Biblical_authority" title="Biblical authority">Biblical authority</a>; and an emphasis on the <a href="/wiki/Death_and_resurrection_of_Jesus" class="mw-redirect" title="Death and resurrection of Jesus">death and resurrection of Jesus</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="/wiki/David_Bebbington" class="mw-redirect" title="David Bebbington">David Bebbington</a> has termed these four distinctive aspects <i><a href="/wiki/Religious_conversion" title="Religious conversion">conversionism</a>,</i> <i>activism</i>, <i>biblicism</i>, and <i>crucicentrism</i>, saying, "Together they form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism."<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Note that the term "Evangelical" does not equal <a href="/wiki/Fundamentalist_Christianity" class="mw-redirect" title="Fundamentalist Christianity">Fundamentalist Christianity</a>, although the latter is sometimes regarded simply as the most theologically conservative subset of the former. The major differences largely hinge upon views of how to regard and approach scripture ("Theology of Scripture"), as well as construing its broader world-view implications. While most conservative Evangelicals believe the label has <i>broadened</i> too much beyond its more limiting traditional distinctives, this trend is nonetheless strong enough to create significant ambiguity in the term.<sup id="cite_ref-33" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a result, the dichotomy between "evangelical" vs. "mainline" denominations is increasingly complex (particularly with such innovations as the "<a href="/wiki/Emergent_Church" class="mw-redirect" title="Emergent Church">Emergent Church</a>" movement). </p><p>The contemporary North American usage of the term is influenced by the evangelical/fundamentalist controversy of the early 20th century. Evangelicalism may sometimes be perceived as the middle ground between the <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Christianity" title="Liberal Christianity">theological liberalism</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Mainline_(Protestant)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mainline (Protestant)">Mainline (Protestant)</a> denominations and the cultural separatism of <a href="/wiki/Fundamentalist_Christianity" class="mw-redirect" title="Fundamentalist Christianity">Fundamentalist Protestantism</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-34"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>34<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Evangelicalism has therefore been described as "the third of the leading strands in American Protestantism, straddl[ing] the divide between fundamentalists and liberals."<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While the North American perception is important to understand the usage of the term, it by no means dominates a wider global view, where the fundamentalist debate was not so influential. </p><p>Historically, Evangelicals held the view that modernist and liberal parties in the Protestant churches had compromised Christian teachings by accommodating the views and values of the secular <a href="/wiki/World_(theology)" class="mw-redirect" title="World (theology)">world</a>. At the same time, they criticized Fundamentalists for their separatism and rejection of the <a href="/wiki/Social_Gospel" title="Social Gospel">Social Gospel</a> as it had been developed by Protestant activists during the previous century. They argued that the core <a href="/wiki/Gospel" title="Gospel">Gospel</a> and its message needed to be reasserted to distinguish it from the innovations and traditions of the liberals and fundamentalists. </p><p>They sought allies in denominational churches and liturgical traditions, disregarding views of eschatology and other "non-essentials," and joined also with Trinitarian varieties of <a href="/wiki/Pentecostalism" title="Pentecostalism">Pentecostalism</a>. They believed that in doing so, they were simply re-acquainting Protestantism with its own recent tradition. The movement's aim at the outset was to reclaim the Evangelical heritage in their respective churches, not to begin something new; and for this reason, following their separation from Fundamentalists, the same movement has been better known merely as "Evangelicalism."

Protestant theologian <a href="/wiki/Horace_Bushnell" title="Horace Bushnell">Horace Bushnell</a> in <i>Christian Nurture</i> (1847) emphasized the necessity of identifying and supporting the religiosity of children and young adults. Beginning in the 1790s the Protestant denominations set up <a href="/wiki/Sunday_school" title="Sunday school">Sunday school</a> programs. They provided a major source of new members.<sup id="cite_ref-114" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-114"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>114<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Urban Protestant churchmen set up the interdenominational <a href="/wiki/YMCA" title="YMCA">YMCA</a> (and later the <a href="/wiki/YWCA" title="YWCA">YWCA</a>) programs in cities from the 1850s.<sup id="cite_ref-115" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-115"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>115<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Methodists looked on their youth as potential political activists, providing them with opportunities to engage in social justice movements such as prohibition. Black Protestants, especially after they could form their own separate churches, integrated their young people directly into the larger religious community. Their youth played a major role in the leadership of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and the 1960s. White evangelicals in the twentieth century set up Bible clubs for teenagers and experimented with the use of music to attract young people. The Catholics set up an entire network of parochial schools, and by the late nineteenth century probably more than half of their young members were attending elementary schools run by local parishes.<sup id="cite_ref-116" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-116"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>116<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some Missouri Synod German Lutherans and Dutch Reformed churches also set up parochial schools.
