The purpose of this work is not to fit whats considered the traditional aspects of Evangelicalism, and by necessary association Evangelical(s), into any available pre-defined niche or slot. The goal here is in fact the polar opposite, which actually makes our task easier is some regards. The basis behind this observation is that its well-established that it is far easier to teach a task thats never been attempted before than to re-teach someone something thats been tried and resulted in failure. In support of the notion that this position is applicable to the purpose of this work is the truth that most Protestant Christians have no idea that either the concept or the purpose of both Evangelicalism and Evangelical(s) even existed before the time some form of the words appeared in the corporate filings of a denomination. And that defines the purpose that were working towards here, which is to not only [Scripturally] support the statement that the first instance of Evangelicalism, as well as the first Evangelical, were present in the Garden of Eden along with Adam, Eve, and satan. Also to be demonstrated is the [Biblical] Truth that the presence of Evangelicalism and the work(s) of Evangelicals are not evidenced by any certain name over the door of any [lower case c] church.
