Best Answer

An evangelical might also be a fundamentalist; the difference is the emphasis of the word rather than either/or.

Fundamentalists believe in a strict adherence to The Bible and usually a literal reading of it.

Evangelicals generally hold Bible teaching as more authoritative than church traditions. Some, but not all, evangelicals tend to be intolerant of religions other than Christianity, and even Christians whose interpretation of the Bible do not match their own.
