I would have thought that Darwin, Marx and Freud have had an influence for bad on Western Christianity (LIberalism, I would argue, is ancient Gnosticism).
For all that, there is nothing new 'under the sun' (the rationalist approach which results in nihilism).
Two key questions we ignore at our peril are
1. Is it right?
2. Is it true?
