    Liberal Protestantism: History and Personality

    I bought this volume years ago in Kenya, primarily for its historical value, addressing a major European social and religious movement in its time. But I never got around to reading the whole thing till 2007. I thought it would be interesting to read an analysis of the Liberal Protestant movement from a perspective of almost 40 years ago, when it was more prominent than now.

    Since that time, the movement called "Post-Modernism" has become the perspective most prominent in American culture. Both traditional mainline (generally equivalent to "liberal" in the United States) and evangelical (includes fundamentalist in the US) have become about equally irrelevant in their focus on their traditional ideological positions and focus and terminology.

    This book was written from the British perspective, so should also provide a good analysis of the movement from its home context in Europe. The book is currently out of print. I suggest you buy a used copy form Amazon dealers.

    Evangelical Resurgence
    Since Reardon's time, we have seen the neo-Evangelical, especially charismatic, churches surge in growth, visibility and social presence. These younger, more-in-tune churches experienced a growth in the last two decades of the 20th century.

    A welcome change in the personality and presentation of evangelical Christianity was witnessed. Fundamental to this new growth was their attention to the culture around them and the questions being asked. Many evangelicals began making a serious attempt to really communicate with people, not just repeat dogma, catch phases and code words.

    Prominent factors in this growing communication and the movement of young people to these vibrant young churches were modernization of language (they began actually talking to their neighbours), format of worship and other activities and musical style.

    Communication
    We saw evangelicals (even some "Fundamentalists") become more sensitive to interpersonal dynamics. The new generation realized that insulting people did not open communication. There was an apparent new awareness that Good News should sound good to people!

    Confrontational evangelism turned into relationship evangelism, with sensitivity for people's worldview and self-concept, and a respect for the beliefs of others. Christians focused on communicating rather than commanding. Approaches to non-believers acknowledged what people believed as the starting point for communication, and dealt with relational needs, as Jesus did, rather than the earlier programmatic attempts at ideological conversion.

    Rise and Demise
    More to the point of this particular book, Reardon has captured well the positive ethos and intention of what was called "Liberalism" in its own sphere, assisting us to overcome some of the polemic and hateful caricatures opponents spread in a shower of scare tactics for decades of the 20th century.

    Reardon seriously evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of the movement in a historical perspective that defines some of the major personalities and key issues of the Liberal Protestant movement. We can see in his portrayal why the movement bred the seeds of its own demise.

    Moribund remnants are all that still are found of the movement that was called Liberalism. The term "liberal" has changed (as all social and ideological terms change), used in new ways, related more to attitude and temperament.
