[VirtueOnline] January 4, 2005--Since at least the nineteenth century, the Christian Church in the West has been confronted with a persistent, unrelenting intellectual effort to discredit classical Christian faith and belief. Following the Enlightenment of the seventeenth century the universities of Europe became the focal point of academic developments which were used to try to discredit Christian belief. With the overthrow of mere appeals to authority for the justification of beliefs, and with the accompanying freedom to more openly engage in skepticism under the guise of doing critical investigation, the whole apparatus of Christian belief - theology and its doctrines of God, Christ, salvation, etc.; Christian philosophical reasoning and logic; Scripture and biblical history, authority, and interpretation, etc. - all come under attack and under this onslaught many who aligned themselves with the Christian community and Christian faith opted instead to simply construct a new kind of Christianity, a new kind of Gospel, that was thought to escape the perceived corrosive effects of these academic developments on the core of Christian belief.
