Harry Emerson Fosdick (Britannica)

Reflecting on the meaning of Christian faithfulness

On May 21, 1922, liberal pastor Harry Emerson Fosdick preached his famous “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” sermon. In commemorating its 100th anniversary, liberal Episcopal writer Diana Butler Bass conflates fundamentalism with American evangelicalism and Putinist Russian Orthodoxy as white ethnonationalism whose goals are dictatorially political and not so much theological. Bass’ conflation is unfortunate not only because it is absurdly unfair but […]

The Protestant Reformation

The Protestant Reformation

The Protestant Reformation resulted from the failure of the Catholic Church to reform itself in time.

Rethinking the Enlightenment: Faith in the Age of Reason

We are victims of our century, wrote one of the Carmelites of Compiègne before going to the guillotine in 1794, “and we must sacrifice ourselves that it be reconciled to God.” Attacks on Catholic churches, anti-Christian elites, and suffocating political correctness—the eighteenth century witnessed cultural conflict every bit as intense as our own today.
