The new wave of American Evangelical writers questions their faith and verbalizes issues that are somehow taboo or insufficiently spoken about in the traditional church: body, gender identity, feminism, relationships with the marginalized, the voiceless and the unseen people in the church. This paper will analyse the discourse of three contemporary American Evangelical writers (Bromleigh McCleneghan-reverend, Rachel Held Evans– journalist, and Sarah Bessey–writer/preacher) in different oral communicational contexts (TV or radio interviews, conferences, you tube book presentations, and sermons) with a special emphasis on the language used to express new ideas about the newly assumed Evangelical identity. In this paper I will focus on analysing the vocabulary used to express the need of change (e.g. struggle, voice, to/not/ fit, change, identity, equality, spiritual journey, evolving faith, to move forward, to let go of, to grow) along with the linguistic expressions affirming new stands on controversial gender identities and ‘dysfunctional’ relationships (e.g. allies, the nicest group, brothers and sisters, friends, with reference to American Christian gay people, feminists with regard to new perspectives on biblical womanhood), and a new look on the physical body as part of one’s identity (e.g. legacy of shame and guilt, disdained, denied, to love, to cherish, to listen to – our bodies). Alongside the verbal productions, I will also bring to attention the nonverbal segments of communication (voice, gestures) and the extra linguistic contexts that create the premises of the innovative, progressive discourses and allow the restoration of demonized gender identities.
