Modern Religious Liberalism

"Modern Religious Liberalism: The Destructiveness and Irrationality of Modernist Theology" is a rigorous critique of the modernist theological movement that gained prominence in the early 20th century. Written by the historian and theologian John Horsch, this work serves as a foundational defense of orthodox Christian doctrine against the perceived encroachments of liberal thought. Horsch systematically examines the tenets of religious liberalism, arguing that its departure from traditional biblical interpretation leads to an irrational and ultimately destructive faith.

The book explores the philosophical underpinnings of modernism, questioning its impact on the authority of Scripture, the divinity of Christ, and the historical foundations of the church. By contrasting modern skepticism with the core convictions of the Christian tradition, Horsch provides a detailed analysis of the internal contradictions he finds within modernist theology. This work is an essential resource for readers interested in the history of the Fundamentalist-Modernist controversy and the evolution of American religious thought. It offers a clear window into the intellectual battles that shaped modern evangelicalism and the ongoing dialogue between tradition and progress within religious institutions.
