==Members of neo-orthodoxy==
Neither strictly Christian left nor right were members of the Christian [[neo-orthodoxy]] movement. These theologians have characteristics in commmon with both the left and the right. Its members include the Swiss theologian [[Karl Barth]] and the first generation American theologian [[Reinhold Niebuhr]].  They rejected much of the liberalism of the [[social gospel]], emphatically embracing the doctrine of original sin, but still held biblical criticism in high regard and never fully questioned the liberal foundations of science and academia unlike [[fundamentalism]], which has always, continues to, and never shys away from such questioning.  The origins of the neo-orthodoxy movement stem from Karl Barth's initial preaching in the way he had been taught at seminary, soon believing many of his own thoughts and words to be hypocrises, and then, subsequently rejecting and refuting 350 years of German, Swiss [[Protestant]] teaching—almost everything after or outside of [[Martin Luther]], [[John Calvin]], and the [[Anabaptists]].
