However, if you want to know about the history of evangelicalism and why it is so diverse, this is an excellent book. Balmer visited a range of evangelical groups, including the bastion of evangelical theology, Dallas Theological Seminary; Capstone Cathedral, a very kooky off-shoot of Pentecostalism; Calvary Chapel in California, a proto-mega church; and group of dissident evangelicals from Trinity College. Each group is not only profiled, but set in historical context. This is an area I know a lot about and I still found new insights and connections in this book. ( )
