J. Gresham Machen, Progressive Democracy & the Social Gospel
J. Gresham Machen’s book, “Christianity and Liberalism” was published 100 years ago in 1923. Although it was not intended to be a political book, it never-the-less impacted a very political movement. Dr. Darrel Hart writes, “ Christianity and Liberalism’s defense of historic Christian doctrines did not inherently favor Democrats or Republicans. But its author did assume a civil order that protected the freedoms not just of citizens but also of families, schools, civic associations, municipal and state governments, and even churches. If Machen opposed redeeming American society through Progressive reforms (i.e., the social gospel), he did so not simply because liberal Protestantism misunderstood the Christian message but also because the Christian America favored by liberal Protestants disturbed the delicate balance of institutions upon which American society depended.”
