Re-Thinking Religious Liberalism is a thought-provoking book written by Rufus M. Jones. The book explores the concept of religious liberalism and its relevance in modern times. Jones argues that religious liberalism is not just a theological position, but a way of life that emphasizes the importance of individual freedom, social justice, and ethical responsibility.The book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Jones provides a historical overview of religious liberalism, tracing its roots back to the Enlightenment and the American Revolution. He argues that religious liberalism emerged as a response to the authoritarianism of traditional religion and the political oppression of the time.In the second part, Jones examines the challenges facing religious liberalism in the modern world. He discusses the rise of fundamentalism and the erosion of liberal values in both religious and secular contexts. He also explores the role of religion in public life and the tension between religious freedom and the common good.In the final part, Jones offers a vision for the future of religious liberalism. He argues that religious liberals must embrace a more holistic approach to spirituality that integrates personal transformation, social justice, and environmental stewardship. He also calls for a renewed commitment to dialogue and collaboration across religious and cultural boundaries.Overall, Re-Thinking Religious Liberalism is a timely and insightful book that offers a fresh perspective on the role of religion in contemporary society. It will appeal to anyone interested in the intersection of religion, politics, and ethics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
