9781331362234: The Programme of Modernism

Synopsis

This book offers a complete re-examination of Christianity in order to dispel the common misconceptions of modern Christianity and revitalize the religion in the current era. The author sets out to prove that many of the elements of modern Christianity were added long after the time of Christ and are not essential to the religion. The author focuses heavily on textual criticism of the bible and the history of the early Church, arguing that much of what is now considered essential Christian doctrine was, in fact, added much later. This book will appeal to a wide range of readers, including those interested in the history of Christianity, those interested in the current state of the religion, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Christian faith.

About the Author

Andrew Dickson White (1832-1918) did more than any other American to impress upon late nineteenth- and twentieth century thought the idea that science and religion are enemies locked in combat on an almost military scale. In 1849, he entered Geneva College and later enrolled in Yale. After graduating, White joined the University of Michigan as a lecturer in history. He returned to New York and won election to the state senate. Finally, White went on to become the first president and cofounder of Cornell University. He also is the author of books, including Seven Great Statesmen in the Warfare of Humanity with Unreason and a 1906 autobiography.
