===Origins of liberal Christianity===

Liberal Christian theology is the result of those who employ the ideas of these three 19th century theologians: [[Friedrich Schleiermacher]], [[Albrecht Ritschl]], and [[Hegel]].  Their work was a response to 19th century scientific interpretations that seemed to question the validity of many basic Christian doctrines: [[Doctrine of Creation|doctrine of creation]], [[Incarnation|doctrine of Incarnation]],  [[eternal life|doctrine of eternal life]], etc. Schleiermacher sought to re-establish the authority on Christian religious experience rather than on scientific knowledge. Ritschl rejected Schleirmacher's idea and tried to re-establish authority of Christian doctrines using [[Kant]]'s idea moral experience and in the fulfillment of the [[Kingdom of God]].  Hegel simply tried to re-establish the authority of Christian doctrines by basing Christian faith on rational and philosophical inquiry.<ref> ''Naming the Whirlwind: The Renewal of God-Language'', [[Langdon Gilkey]], Bobbs-Merrill Company, 1969, 73, 74, and 75  </ref>
