Theological Liberalism

Theological Liberalism is an approach to religion that emphasizes reason, personal experience, and ethical values over traditional doctrine and dogma. It often seeks to reinterpret religious texts in light of contemporary knowledge and societal changes. Liberal theologians may question literal interpretations of scripture, focusing instead on the underlying moral messages. This movement emerged in the 19th century as a response to modernity, science, and the changing cultural landscape, aiming to make faith more relevant and accessible in a diverse world. It strives for a balance between faith and reason while promoting tolerance and inclusivity within spiritual communities.
