Christianity and Liberalism

J. Gresham Machen (1881-1937)

A precise theological argument published in 1923 showing that Christianity and modern liberalism are not two versions of the same faith but two entirely different religions. Machen moves systematically through the key doctrines, including Scripture, the person of Christ, salvation, and the church, demonstrating that liberal theology has replaced each with something incompatible with the historic faith. Written during the fundamentalist and modernist controversy among American Presbyterians, it shaped every subsequent defense of confessional Protestantism.
