For instance, archaeology proved that, contrary to what Liberals had asserted, the art of writing was commonly practiced in the time of Moses and that there was a great Hittite empire in ancient times, though it was previously known to history only from the Bible. The Church Must Go Beyond Modernism. This was the historic beginning of Neo-liberalism, which indeed was not new but rather the same old Liberalism clothed in a more attractive garb, intended to be more palatable to the average lay person. The basic idea is that existence is prior to reasoning. Therefore, it is impossible to find ultimate truth and the real meaning of life speculatively.
Human experience is the starting point of all understanding.
Life has no objective or absolute meaning. A human being must create his own meaning, and he does this by looking within himself. Truth is purely subjective. Even Christian young people, who would not commit certain acts themselves, often feel that if others want to do such things, it may be all right for them. To the Neo-orthodox, the Bible is still only a human book and therefore a fallible one.
