J. Gresham Machen

It was a glorious Lord's Day. This afternoon I finished reading (first edition) Ned B. Stonehouse's J. Gresham Machen: A Biographical Memoir.

Machen (1881-1937) taught at Princeton Theological Seminary for over twenty years, was a world-class New Testament scholar, and was instrumental in the founding of Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Machen was a stalwart defender of the faith, and combated Modernism within the Presbyterian Church throughout his life. This book was an excellent and edifying read.
