It would probably benefit me to read a solid, sympathetic history of liberal theology sometime. Volume I of III. Dorrien is an Episcopal priest. He is the Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union, and Professor of Religion at Columbia. He champions liberal theology as "the most creative and influential tradition" of theological reflection since the Reformation. [Intro]. Unitarianism plays a formative role in this 200-year tradition. Dorrien defines liberal theology as "a Christian perspective based on reason and experience, not external authority". Even touches upon Religion as a secular experience! {Explains the crisis of Liberal theology as too academic for church and too religious for University.} There is enough depth in the trilogy of volumes to count as a theological education. Many complex ideas, fairly ventilated. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

In this first of a three-volume, comprehensive series, Gary Dorrien mixes theological analysis with historical and biographical detail to present the first comprehensive interpretation of American theological liberalism. Arguing that the indigenous roots of American liberal theology existed before the rise of Darwinism, Dorrien maintains that this tradition took shape in the nineteenth century and was motivated by a desire to map a progressive "third way" between authority-based orthodoxies and atheistic rationalism. Dorrien characterizes American liberal theology by its openness to historical criticism and evolutionary theory, its commitment to the authority of individual reason and experience, its conception of Christianity as an ethical way of life, and its commitment to make Christianity credible and socially relevant to modern people.
