===Economic aspect===

In terms of economics, liberal Christianity grossly oversimplifies New Testament [[eschatology]] towards the [[Kingdom of God]] into the liberal "law of progress."  History does indeed show a growing maturity in technology, thought, and social relations, but there is nothing within the academy's forces of history or its figures of history to suggest that good triumphs over evil. [[Bomb|Bombs]], [[NAFTA]], and [[feminism]] are indeed evidence of the [[liberal]] law of progress, but in so far as these things are merely the will of man, their development involves  [[sin]], i.e. evil triumphing over good.<ref> ''Basic idea for this paragraph is from'' April 26, 1939 ''The Christian Century'', Reinhold Niebuhr, "Ten Years That Shook My World", pages 542-546 </ref>  Also, liberal Christian economic theories tend to place undue emphasis on selected portions of Scripture, such as [[the parable of the sheep and the goats]] and other passages on [[charity]], while ignoring other Scripture passages that do not support economic liberalism.

Brightman provides an example of this sort of thinking: "I believe in God because I believe that history represents a steady, moral progress." This was turned around by the [[neo-orthodoxy|neo-orthodox]] scholar Langdon Gilkey when he stated "I believe in God because to me history precisely does not represent such a progress."<ref> [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3049-2004Nov21.html Washingtonpost Obit of Langdon Gilkey] </ref>
