Excerpt from The Passing of Medievalism in Religion We live in an age of theological fermentation. Changes are taking place in religious thought not less radical than in the days of the reformation and a process of recon struction and readjustment is going on which is as widespread as it is revolutionary. We are moving away from some of the traditional positions of theology which for centuries have been regarded as bulwarks of evangel ical faith, and both the pulpit and the pew of the present day are breaking with exploded theories and outgrown traditions. Christianity is being christianized and chris tian thought is being liberated from medieval and paganis tic perversions. Much that is in the old creeds has been outgrown and the spirit of revision which is abroad today expunging and pruning old formularies is the result of a demand of the modern mind to readjust the old faith to the new facts. The difiiculties of the modern man are not with religion, but outgrown views of it. The break among the educated is not with the truth of the Bible, but medieval interpretations of it.
