| Summary |
"The New Theology" by R. J. Campbell is a theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The text addresses what is referred to as the "New Theology," suggesting a fresh interpretation of Christian principles that aligns more closely with modern thought and experiences of spirituality. Campbell aims to clarify misconceptions surrounding this emerging theology, asserting that it emphasizes the immanence of God in the universe and the necessity for religious beliefs to resonate with contemporary life. The opening of the work presents an introduction to Campbell's perspective on the relationship between religion and theology, emphasizing that everyone has a personal theology shaped by their religious experiences. He critiques traditional dogmatic theology, arguing that it has become disconnected from the realities of modern life, leading to a decline in church influence. He advocates for a rearticulation of Christian truths, rooted in the immanence of God, which he believes can revitalize religious faith and foster spiritual growth among individuals seeking a deeper understanding of their faith in connection with contemporary values.
