RR Reno has a thought provoking essay here on the impact of liberalism on politics, society and theology. He wisely concludes that liberalism is not enough.

“One need not proclaim that liberalism has failed in order to be ranged among the postliberals. It is enough to say that liberalism is not enough; that freedom is not enough; that pluralism, which will always be with us, is a challenge not a blessing; that universal truths about the human condition, though real, do not provide sufficient bases for a fully human life. Liberalism prunes but does not plant. It does not speak the language of love and devotion. Men can live in bondage and be human. But they cannot live without love.“
