Contents:
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.
Summary: 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.
