Christianity and Liberalism

Book cover
By: (1881-1937)

In "Christianity and Liberalism," John Gresham Machen delivers a powerful critique of liberal theology and its impact on the Christian faith. His insightful analysis exposes the fundamental differences between true Christian doctrine and the watered-down version promoted by liberal theologians.

Machen argues that liberalism, with its emphasis on human reason and social progress, has strayed from the foundational truths of Christianity. He highlights the dangers of compromising these essential beliefs in favor of a more palatable, inclusive theology that undermines the authority of Scripture and the uniqueness of Christ.

Throughout the book, Machen offers a compelling defense of historic Christian teachings, arguing that they are essential for maintaining the integrity and relevance of the faith. He calls on believers to uphold these truths and resist the pressure to conform to the changing cultural norms of the day.

While Machen's arguments may be challenging to those who hold more liberal views, his passionate defense of orthodox Christianity is both timely and relevant. "Christianity and Liberalism" is a thought-provoking and essential read for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of the core beliefs of the Christian faith.

Book Description:
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...In the sphere of religion, in particular, the present time is a time of conflict; the great redemptive religion which has always been known as Christianity is battling against a totally diverse type of religious belief, which is only the more destructive of the Christian faith because it makes use of traditional Christian terminology. This modern non-redemptive religion is called “modernism” or “liberalism.”...we shall be interested in showing that despite the liberal use of traditional phraseology, modern liberalism not only is a different religion from Christianity but belongs in a totally different class of religions. - Summary Adapted from Introduction
