Reinventing liberal Christianity / Theo Hobson. - Grand Rapids, Mich. : William B. Eerdmans, 2013. - 1 online resource (viii, 332 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Roots -- The frail vision -- The sacramental deficiency -- The allure of reason -- American disestablishment -- Golden age? -- Beyond progress -- The reaction -- The collapse -- Postliberals -- Conclusion : cultic-liberal Christianity.
In past years liberal Christianity challenged centuries of authoritarian tradition and had great political influence. Today it is widely dismissed as a watering-down of the faith, and more conservative forms of Christianity are increasingly dominant. Can the liberal Christian tradition recover its influence? Hobson argues that a simple revival is not possible, because liberal Christianity consists of two traditions. He aims to transform liberal Christianity through the rediscovery of faith and ritual.
