Edwards, Mark. “Can Christianity Save Civilisation?: Liberal Protestant Anti-Secularism in Interwar America.” Journal of Religious History. Advance online publication (2014). doi: 10.1111/1467-9809.12126
Abstract: This article explores the geopolitics of liberal evangelicalism, Christian Realism, and the ecumenical movement as collective responses to the rise of “secularism” after World War I. Alternatively, it considers how liberal Protestants looked to Roman Catholicism for support in their defence of the Christian identity of the United States and the West more generally. The long history of Christian anti-secularism in America complicates familiar portraits of liberal Protestants as agents of secularisation.
