Maaten's thesis in this book is very simply this.

Christianity is not liberalism.

Liberalism is not a version of Christianity

that's sort of acceptable.

It's the opposite.

It's outside the camp.

It's outside the boundaries of the Orthodox Christian faith. Christianity and liberalism is such an important book from the 20th century,

a drawing a line in the sand moment, a book that is still just as helpful and valuable today.

And it's that book written by J Gresham Machen and released 100 years ago in 1923 that will be discussing on this Wednesday edition of

renewing her mind. What led Mechin to write Christianity and liberalism? The

history is fascinating as Stephen Nichols takes us back to

the 1920s. You can also see the influence the liberal arguments of Maatchan's Day

have had on the society that you and I live in today. That's one reason why we

shouldn't ignore this significant book. Here's Dr Nichols.

We're going to turn the corner now and talk about Machen's book, Christianity and

liberalism. It's from 1923. It's almost a hundred years old, but I think today this book is more relevant, more necessary,

I would even say more urgent and critical than it was a hundred years ago when Machen wrote it.

The beauty of this book is not only the way Machen speaks to those challenges that were

coming at Christianity, but also the way

Machen just gives us such clarity. Remember, controversy and conflict bring clarity

and conviction. This book brings such clarity to those doctrines

that are the hub of the wheel of Christianity and I think puts steel in our spines to have conviction
