Machen's Book

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: J. Gresham Machen’s classic Christianity and Liberalism is around one hundred years old, and it is still proving to be relevant and necessary. This is because its main subject matter is Christian truth, which never changes yet always seems to be under attack. In this lesson, Dr. Nichols provides the historical context of Machen’s book to underscore why it was and is so urgently needed.

ABOUT THE SERIES: In 1923, J. Gresham Machen wrote his classic work Christianity and Liberalism. Machen understood that he lived in a time that needed answers. People needed to know the fundamental doctrinal convictions of Christianity in an age of compromise. Modernism was threatening the church, and liberals within the church were seeking to accommodate it, calling into question bedrock doctrines of the faith. In this teaching series, Dr. Stephen J. Nichols reminds us of who Machen was, why his book is still important, and how it teaches us that there is only one true, uncompromising Christian faith.
