New School Presbyterianism

New School Presbyterianism is a theological movement within the Presbyterian tradition that emerged in the 19th century, emphasizing intellectual engagement and social activism alongside traditional faith. It advocates for a harmonious integration of Scripture, reason, and experience, fostering a more progressive approach to theology and social issues. The movement values education, moral responsibility, and engagement with contemporary challenges, seeking to apply biblical principles in a thoughtful way. While maintaining core Reformed beliefs like the authority of Scripture and the sovereignty of God, New School Presbyterians tend to be more open to modern ideas and social reform compared to more conservative branches.
