Christian Sources for Journalists
In the course of doing a story you may need experts to speak about a topic from an Evangelical Christian perspective. Hopefully, these institutions can help you find people who can assist you. I've tried to select organizations that are both well known and well respected. If I've missed something obvious, let me know.

Bibles and Other Documents
Evangelicals are about the Bible. Look up scripture references at Bible Gateway. The 4 Spiritual Laws is a great pamphlet that explains what it means to become a Christian. The Ethereal Library (It's in the "ether," get it?) has a huge collection of Christian documents.

General Organizations
A good place to start is the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella organization representing about 43,000 congregations, 50 denominations and 250 parachurch organizations and schools. Barna Research is also good for an overview. It tracks the health of the church with surveys and polls.

Colleges
For academic comment, these three colleges are probably the best known, and each is well respected. Wheaton is perhaps the best known of Evangelical colleges. Both Wheaton and Multnomah have a press contacts page.

Relief
These are some of the largest Evangelical relief organizations. World Vision is probably one of the largest relief agencies - Evangelical or otherwise.

Science
Not just creation vs. evolution, though plenty of that. Incidentally, creation and the age of the earth are almost always treated as if they are the same. They're not. Institute for Creation Research, for example, holds to a "young earth" view, while Reasons to Believe holds to an "old earth" view. Neither believes in evolution.

Law
You might consider these two organizations (of which ACLJ is probably much better known) as counterweights to the ACLU.

Family
Focus on the Family is the big family-related Evangelical organization. It occasionally deals with political issues affecting the family. Family Life is smaller, though well respected. It seems to stay away from politics.

Politics
Christian Coalition is the big Evangelical political organization, but these other groups (offshoots of Focus on the Family) are also quite influential.

Evangelism
You've undoubtedly heard of Billy Graham, but Campus Crusade for Christ is also very large, and extends far beyond college campuses.
