{"product_id":"books-reinventing-liberal-christianity-by-theo-hobson","title":"Reinventing Liberal Christianity","description":"In this provocative book Theo Hobson addresses the current crisis of liberal Christianity. In past years liberal Christianity challenged centuries of authoritarian tradition and had great political influence. It played a major role in the founding of the United States and gave rise to the secular liberalism that we take for granted. But liberal Christianity today is widely dismissed as a watering-down of the faith, and more conservative forms of Christianity are increasingly dominant. Can the liberal Christian tradition recover its influence? \u003cbr\u003eHobson puts forth a bold theory about why liberal Christianity collapsed and how it can be reinvented. He argues that a simple revival is not possible, because liberal Christianity consists of two traditions -- a good tradition that must be salvaged and a bad tradition that must be repudiated. \u003ci\u003eReinventing Liberal Christianity\u003c\/i\u003e untangles these two traditions with a fascinating survey of Christian thought from the Reformation to the present and, further, aims to transform liberal Christianity through the rediscovery of faith and ritual.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509053448465,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780802868404.jpg?v=1778156355","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-reinventing-liberal-christianity-by-theo-hobson","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
