Abstract (EN)

Evangelism, one of the sub-groups of Protestantism, is a religious movement that has gained the status of the national religion of the American state. The basis of the principles of the Evangelists who believe that Scripture is the infallibility and the word of God; the figure of Jesus Christ takes place as the forms of the essence of Christianity. Those people who believe in the possibility of a religious conversion by experiencing a reborn, follows the idea of individual salvation in Jesus Christ. Their aim is to promote the Evangelization of the whole world by spreading the Bible. Evangelists, who defend that the course of history takes place within God's plan, that God has an active plan for them in the End Times; it tends to reshape contemporary conditions and social structure by basing them on sacred texts. In this context, the aim of the thesis was to comprehend the place and importance of the theologian Jerry Falwell, who was a representative of the conservative wing in the United States, in the Evangelical doctrine. As a religious leader and political activist, Jerry Falwell's need to clarify his religious discourses led to the need for Evangelism to be seen in public policies. Because the name passed frequently in the studies on evangelism, this requirement was confirmed. For this purpose, his name, which has a key role in the revival of the Evangelist attitude in America, has been examined on the future vision of the world. The phenomenon of the Kingdom of God, especially the theme of the gospel, is reflected in Jerry Falwell's future vision and reflections in his life. The findings are evaluated in the light of the sacred texts and presented within the framework of the Evangelical teachings. The scope of the dissertation, rather than revealing all aspects of Evangelicalism as a system of belief, was based on Jerry Falwell's theological and teo-political contributions to the future of the world in the Evangelical literature.
