Modernist Theology

Modernist Theology is a movement within religion that interprets traditional beliefs—such as God, scriptures, and salvation—in ways that align with contemporary ideas, science, and philosophy. It emphasizes critical thinking, historical context, and personal experience, often questioning literal interpretations of sacred texts. Modernist theologians seek to understand faith in a way that resonates with modern life, focusing on ethical principles, social justice, and spiritual growth. This approach aims to make religious beliefs relevant and meaningful today while encouraging an openness to new ideas and ongoing reinterpretation.
