How Modernism Changed Christianity

Why did Christians begin to rethink some of the most fundamental teachings of Christianity? And what ideas brought about these changes? In this first episode of Lest We Drift, I explore the rise of modernism and the philosophical ideas that influenced how Christians understood Scripture, doctrine, and the Christian faith. We look at figures like Friedrich Schleiermacher, Harry Emerson Fosdick, and J. Gresham Machen, along with the fundamentalist-modernist controversy and the changes that followed. "Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it."
