Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen.
This year marks the hundredth anniversary of J. Gresham Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism. It is one of the bestselling religious books ever published in America. Even now it sells more copies annually, is read more widely, and is cited more often than any book if not all the books by all the professors of any seminary if not all the seminaries of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). There is no question about its significance. It set the terms but also the tone of many debates between American liberals, conservatives, fundamentalists, and evangelicals throughout the last century. It would be difficult to overestimate its influence on Christianity in America throughout the twentieth century and even today.
But what has been its impact? How did it shape the thinking of its readers? How effective was it in changing people’s minds? To answer these questions requires, among many other things, a basic understanding of the nature of the liberalism that Machen sought to overcome. What sort was it? What was its content? What were its intellectual and spiritual origins? How did it emerge?Copyright Popular Culture and Religion.

    07 - The Church. Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen.
    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.
