The Making of American Liberal Theology: Imagining… di Gary Dorrien
It would probably benefit me to read a solid, sympathetic history of liberal theology sometime.
Volume II of III. Describes the rise (and fall) of liberation theology between 1900-1950 as the "dominant tradition" of divinity schools and mainline seminaries.
Clearly Dorrien is a gentle champion of liberal theology from its modern roots (Unitarians, and also the Germans--Kant, Schleiermacher and Hegel) to its current importance (and crisis).

Volume I of III. Dorrien is an Episcopal priest. He is the Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union, and Professor of Religion at Columbia. He champions liberal theology as "the most creative and influential tradition" of theological reflection since the Reformation. [Intro].

Volume III of III. Dorrien describes the late Unitarian theologian, James Luther Adams, as "the conscience of his generation" who emphasized social transformation while lamenting the lack of world-changing commitment that comes from spiritual conversion. He recognized how lonely Adams was as a UU Christian theist, but how connected he was in his ecumenical and action-oriented theology.
In final chapter, Dorrien observes the "unnoticed renaissance" of liberal theology. Cf. Gordon Kaufman, J. Deotis Roberts, Sallie McFague, David Tracy, Ian Barbour, and Elizabeth Johnson. Also - his "trilogy" of the advocates today--Spong, Borg, and Gomes, qv.… (altro)
