Excerpt from Protestant Modernism or Religious Thinking for Thinking Men Ways of thinking have a history. The paternal grandparents of the author of this book were tried for heresy, for not believing in foreordination to eternal torments, and were expelled from the Baptist church in Williamstown, Massachusetts, known as "the stone church." As a result the author's father was estranged from all churches, but was accustomed to discussions of theology as his daily intellectual exercise. The discussions led to wide reading and much thinking, to a devout spirit and an untrammelled mind. The author's mother early led him to the Methodist church, and he was reared in its theological atmosphere.

In the 1960s a left-wing movement emerged in the United States that not only crusaded against social and economic exploitation, but also confronted the problem of personal alienation in everyday life. These new radicals - young, white, raised in relative affluence - struggled for peace, equality and social justice. Their struggle was cultural as well as political, a search for meaning and authenticity that marked a new phase in the long history of American radicalism.

Excerpt from Protestant Modernism: Or Religious Thinking for Thinking Men Ways of thinking have a history. The paternal grandfather of the author of this book was tried for heresy, and expelled from the Baptist church in Williamstown, Mass., known as "the stone church." One result was that the author's father was estranged from all churches, but was accustomed to discussions of theology as his daily intellectual exercise. The discussions led to wide reading and much thinking, to a devout spirit and an untrammelled mind. The author's mother led him early to the Methodist church, and he was reared in its theological atmosphere. When he decided to prepare for the ministry, his father, then suffering from mortal disease, placed upon him one simple injunction, that he should never teach anything which he had not investigated for himself, and which he was not convinced was reasonable.

Discover the ongoing relevance of the essential evangelical. In recent years, the label "evangelical" has been distorted and its usefulness questioned. No one is better equipped to provide a clear understanding of evangelicalism than the late Carl F. H. Henry, the founding editor of Christianity Today and the most influential theologian of American evangelicalism in the twentieth century. While Billy Graham was preaching the gospel to stadiums full of people, Henry was working tirelessly to help Christians adopt a worldview that encompasses all of life. Architect of Evangelicalism helps us gain a better sense of the roots of American evangelicalism by giving us the best of Henry's Christianity Today essays on subjects such as what defines evangelicalism, what separates it from theological liberalism, what evangelical Christian education should look like, and how evangelicals should engage with society.

The Reverend Phillips Brooks was undeniably one of the most popular preachers of Gilded Age America and the author of the beloved Christmas carol, 'O Little Town of Bethlehem.' However, very few critical studies of his life and work exist. In this insightful book, Gillis J. Harp places Brooks's religious thought in its proper historical, cultural, and ecclesiastical contexts while clarifying the sources of Brooks's inspiration. The result is a fuller, richer portrait of this luminous figure and of this transitional era in American protestantism.
