<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Dorrien defines American liberal theology primarily by its historical character, as an ecumenical Christian tradition that derives from the late 18th- and early 19th-century Protestant attempts to reconceptualize the meaning of traditional Christian teaching in the light of modern knowledge and ethical values.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In this first of a three-volume, comprehensive series, Gary Dorrien mixes theological analysis with historical and biographical detail to present the first comprehensive interpretation of American theological liberalism. Arguing that the indigenous roots of American liberal theology existed before the rise of Darwinism, Dorrien maintains that this tradition took shape in the nineteenth century and was motivated by a desire to map a progressive third way between authority-based orthodoxies and atheistic rationalism. Dorrien characterizes American liberal theology by its openness to historical criticism and evolutionary theory, its commitment to the authority of individual reason and experience, its conception of Christianity as an ethical way of life, and its commitment to make Christianity credible and socially relevant to modern people.</p>
