The Making of American Liberal Theology

More about the book

Focusing on the peak of American theological liberalism, this volume examines its dynamic integration of various theological schools and the tension between evangelical and modernist perspectives. It highlights the movement's optimism rooted in social and cultural progress, which ultimately faced significant internal critique during the 1930s. Through this exploration, the author sheds light on the complex evolution of theological thought in the context of the emerging research university and institutional frameworks.
