Forthcoming Exhibition: Evangelicalism in America

As the fall exhibition at Pitts comes to a close, we look forward to a new one on the horizon! From December 16, 2019 to March 20, 2020, Pitts will feature “Thy Kingdom Come: American Evangelicalism from George Whitefield to Contemporary Politics” curated by Brandon Wason and Eric Moore. Following the 250 year legacy of George Whitefield, this exhibition pushes against monolithic portrayals of Evangelicalism in the media and seeks to show the significance of this movement within the broader American culture. Stay tuned for details about tours, digital tools, and more!
