The Making of American Liberal Theology (Vol 2)

Publisher Description

In the second of this three-volume history Gary Dorrien tells the story of American theological liberalism in its heyday, exploring the diversity of liberal theologians and schools of thought, as well as the central importance of liberal debates over idealism, realism, naturalistic empiricism, and making Christianity modern. Breaking with previous interpretations, he treats Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich as theorists of a neoliberal position within the liberal tradition.
