“In its one-sided view of progress which saw the growth of the wheat but not that of the tares, the gathering of the grain but not the burning of the chaff, this liberalism was indeed naïvely optimistic. A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.”
