H. E. Fosdick was the quintisential liberal preacher of his day. He stood in opposition to all the orthodox doctrines, and even wrote "shall the fundamentalists win?", dispairing because of the return to orthodoxy by preachers at the turn of the 20th century. Fosdick denied the Trinity, the virgin birth, and the literal bodily resurrection of Jesus. Educated at Union Theological Seminary, Fosdick reflected the positions he was taught there. ( )
