This paper primarily examines how white conservative Evangelicals engage narrative constructions of identity through the use an embattled lens. The paper does also consider two other Evangelical groups (black Evangelicals—largely civil rights leaders—as well as white Emergent Evangelicals) both of whom could be understood as positioning themselves against conservative white Evangelical narrative identity stories in their own delineations to determine whether the hallmarks of the embattled lens may manifest outside conservative subculture. The paper expounds upon sociologist Christian Smith’s field-defining understanding of American Evangelicalism’s embattlement with the nonevangelical world wherein he described Evangelicals as thriving due to a sense of engaged conflict, distinction, tension, and threat with the wider populace. This paper establishes a narrative depiction of embattlement which privileges a literary analysis of Evangelical rhetorical strategies and storytelling mechanisms to determine a subcultural tradition of non-scriptural embattled narrative arcs. This embattled narrative is heavily reliant upon and implicitly reproduced through three recurrent motifs: the reclamation of a deeply mythologized America which they see founded as a Christian nation, the authenticity of Evangelical Christianity as opposed to either other Christianities or the false teachings of a secular world, and lastly, a quixotic version of liberty, especially where it pertains to the free exercise of Evangelicals at the concurrent expense of other identity groups.
