Jesus Christ

ABOUT THIS MESSAGE: Christianity and Liberalism is logically organized. After J. Gresham Machen addresses the subject of the Bible, he can now move on to the message of the Bible. The Bible contains the message of the gospel, and that message is essentially about a person—Jesus Christ. In this lesson, Dr. Nichols demonstrates how the distortions of liberalism concerning the person and work of Christ were a distortion of the gospel itself.

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.
