CHAPTER VIII
6/51

And none of these ideas are particularly liberal.

Nay, indeed almost all these ideas are definitely illiberal, as it is the purpose of this chapter to show.
In the few following pages I propose to point out as rapidly as possible that on every single one of the matters most strongly insisted on by liberalisers of theology their effect upon social practice would be definitely illiberal.

Almost every contemporary proposal to bring freedom into the church is simply a proposal to bring tyranny into the world.

For freeing the church now does not even mean freeing it in all directions.

It means freeing that peculiar set of dogmas loosely called scientific, dogmas of monism, of pantheism, or of Arianism, or of necessity.
