[viscousmemories]

I recently read Frances Fitzgerald's classic tome on the Vietnam war, "Fire in the Lake", and it was incredibly comprehensive, balanced, and engrossing. So when I saw that she had a more recent book called "Evangelicals", I snatched it up. I have not read (and may never read) this 650 page monster, but I did look through the index and I was surprised to find only a couple casual references to Charismatic Christians. There was always such a huge focus on the importance of evangelism in the Word of God that I had always assumed the movement came under the rubric of "Evangelical", but apparently they are two largely, if not completely, separate movements. Very strange.
