The influence of evangelicalism in the English speaking churches in South Africa on recent cultural historical developments This article focuses on the strong influence of a theological and ecclesiastical phenomen like evangelicalism within the English speaking churches in South Africa and its effects on cultural historical developments in contemporary South Africa. It is argued that this influence has been greatly underestimated. After a overview of historical developments in these churches the focus is sharper on a discussion of developments within South African society since 1985.
