== Modernism and liberal Christianity ==
== Modernism and liberal Christianity ==
In Christian theology, modernism is a hostile term used by its enemies to attack the tendency of [[liberal Christianity]] toward revision of certain Christian doctrines such as the [[Virgin Birth]] and the [[Resurrection]] of Christ, or subjecting the Bible to the [[Higher Criticism]]. Modernism was the target of [[Fundamentalism|the Fundamentalists]] after 1910, and was an especially bitter issue in the 1920s.

Like secular modernists, adherents of liberal theology often have lower standards of morality (for example, see: [[Liberal Christianity and marital infidelity|Liberal Christianity and higher prevalence of marital infidelity and other sexual immorality]]).
However, In 1927 the major modernist poet [[T.S. Eliot]] was baptized into the [[Church of England]], became a subject of the king, began publishing essays by conservative thinkers, and proclaimed himself a "classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and anglo-catholic in religion." <ref>https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/modernism-conservatism/ "Modernism & Conservatism".
