Liberal Christianity on the decline

The NY Times op-ed columnist and author Ross Douthat writes about the decline of "liberal Christianity."  I found Douthat's "Can Liberal Christianity Be Saved?" a good article to ponder, even good enough to take to prayer, because Ross asks what within the tradition of modern Christianity is worth saving and what definitely needs to be jettisoned. Douthat, for me, reminds me of days not long ago when a prominent religious order of men adopted a form of liberal Christian thinking on all maters but the truth, even to the point of a several members saying they relished being post-Christian. Gone are the days --at least one hopes the days are gone-- when we are theologically shallow, lacking the biblical narrative and true theology.

Ross Douthat recently published the provocative Bad Religion: How We Became a Nation of Heretics (Free Press, 2012).
