by J. Gresham Machen (1923) What This Book Is About (In Machen's Own Words). Christianity and Liberalism (eBook) by J. Gresham Machen In ePub, .mobi and .pdf formats. The modern liberal doctrine is that all men everywhere, no matter what their race or creed, are brothers. Christianity & Liberalism. Liberalism occurs in different forms and intensities. While liberals attack doctrine, in fact they espouse a doctrine, the doctrine of “the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man,” which they assume represents the teaching of Jesus.
Christianity and the Tolerance of Liberalism ... whose Christianity and Liberalism remains a classic. Liberal Christianity, also known as liberal theology, is a movement that seeks to interpret and reform Christian teaching by taking into consideration modern knowledge, science and ethics. The liberal doctrine of God and the liberal doctrine of man are both diametrically opposite to the Christian view. The purpose of this book is not to decide the religious issue of the present day, but merely to present the issue as sharply and clearly as possible, in order that the reader may be aided in deciding it for himself. It is true that we can find in the New Testament occasional affirmations of the idea that … On the contrary its attack upon the fundamentals of the Christian faith is being carried on vigorously by Sunday-School "lesson-helps," by the pulpit, and by the religious press. There is a sense in which this doctrine can be accepted by the Christian. Chapter 2: Doctrine Modern liberalism in the Church, whatever judgment may be passed upon it, is at any rate no longer merely an academic matter.It is no longer a matter merely of theological seminaries or universities. Was everything Machen did in response worth emulating? What does Machen's battle with liberalism have to teach us today in a church still ravaged by liberalism and those who tolerate it? It also emphasizes the authority of individual reason and experience. Chapter 4: “The Bible” Modern liberalism, it has been observed so far, has lost sight of the two great presuppositions of the Christian message—the living God, and the fact of sin. The motto of theological liberalism, then and now, is “Christianity must adapt or die.” At its core, theological liberalism possesses a deep craving to be relevant to the culture, adored by the world, and respected among the intellectual elite.
They do not realize that this doctrine is neither the teaching of Jesus nor the teaching of the New Testament. Some liberals deny that Jesus even existed or say that the Bible is a good book full of moral teachings or that Adam and Eve were metaphors, etc. In my little book, Christianity and Liberalism, 1923, I tried to show that the issue in the Church of the present day is not between two varieties of the same religion, but, at bottom, between two essentially different types of thought and life.
Very different is this Christian conception of brotherhood from the liberal doctrine of the "brotherhood of man." In the context of Christianity, liberalism is the moving away from traditional, historical interpretation of Scripture into "new" interpretations that are more consistent with secular views.
