Christianity and Liberalism

Book • 2023
In this book, Machen presents a robust defense of Christian orthodoxy and a strong critique of theological liberalism.

He argues that liberalism, grounded in naturalism, rejects the supernatural elements of Christianity and reinterprets traditional doctrinal beliefs in metaphorical categories.

Machen examines key doctrines such as the Bible, Christ, salvation, and the church, highlighting the antithetical nature of liberalism to historic Christianity.

He emphasizes that liberalism is not merely a different interpretation of Christianity but a distinct and non-Christian system of thought.
