Social Sciences - Religion | | German term or phrase: die protestantische Sicht oder die evangelische Stimme | Please could you help with this. I am at a loss as to how to translate the last sentence.
.Die Meinungsdifferenzen, die innerhalb des Protestantismus zur hESForschung deutlich wurden, und die Akzeptanz dieser Forschung durch Vertreter der protestantischen akademischen Ethik haben dazu beigetragen, die gesamtgesellschaftliche Debatte zu beleben. Davon ganz abgesehen hatte die Kontroverse auch innerprotestantisch einen bereinigenden, klärenden Effekt. Denn sie rückte ins Bewusstsein, dass die Auffassung mancher evangelischer Kirchenvertreter, zu ethischen Fragen solle gegenüber der Öffentlichkeit „die" protestantische Sicht oder „die evangelische Stimme"24 (im Singular) geltend gemacht werden, nicht überzeugt. Mit dem Selbstverständnis
des Protestantismus steht eine derartige Uniformität und Schein- Eindeutigkeit nicht in Einklang. |
| | | English translation:"the one" Protestant view, or "the one Protestant voice" | Explanation:
The opinion of certain representatives of the church, that only "the one" Protestant view on ethical questions should be presented to the public, was no longer convincing (not a completely accurate translation of that part of the sentence)

Dear Fionna - not as far as I know, but I'm not an expert. All I know is that "protestant" can be used for both, and that "evangelical" has, I believe, certain different connotations in English.
see the definitions here:
relating to or being a Christian church believing in personal conversion and the inerrancy of the Bible especially the 4 Gospels; "evangelical Christianity"; "an ultraconservative evangelical message"
- of or pertaining to or in keeping with the Christian gospel
- especially as in the first 4 books of the New Testament
- marked by ardent or zealous enthusiasm for a cause.

Asker: Thank you very much. Is there a difference between protestantische and evangelische?
