Christianity and Liberalism-J. Gresham Machen

from Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion Hosted by David Hume

Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen. Christianity and Liberalism is a 1923 book by J. Gresham Machen. It was written in response to Harry Emerson Fosdick's 1922 sermon "Shall the Fundamentalists Win?", thus triggering the fundamentalist–modernist controversy. Machen argued that Liberal Christianity constituted a distinct religion, since it denied substitutionary atonement. However, its true nature was, according to Machen, "hidden by the duplicitous use of traditional terms and categories by liberal clergy." Featured on Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion.
