Liberal Christianity: Its Origin, Nature, And Mission

By Jean Reville

Book Overview

""Liberal Christianity: Its Origin, Nature, and Mission"" is a book written by French theologian Jean Reville, first published in 1903. The book explores the history and principles of liberal Christianity, a movement that emerged in the 19th century as a response to the challenges posed by modernity and scientific progress. Reville argues that liberal Christianity seeks to reconcile faith and reason, and to reinterpret traditional Christian teachings in light of contemporary knowledge and values. He examines the origins of liberal Christianity in the Enlightenment and the Protestant Reformation, and discusses its key figures and ideas, including Friedrich Schleiermacher, Albrecht Ritschl, and Ernst Troeltsch. Reville also explores the mission of liberal Christianity, which he sees as a call to promote social justice, human rights, and religious tolerance. Overall, ""Liberal Christianity"" is a thoughtful and insightful exploration of a significant movement in Christian theology and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
