Machen’s Classic

Yesterday was J. Gresham Machen’s birthday.

Here is found the most fundamental difference between liberalism and Christianity–liberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphant indicative; liberalism appeals to man’s will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.

– J. Gresham Machen

Read Carl Trueman’s wonderful forward to the new commemorative edition of Machen’s classic and stunningly relevant “Christianity and Liberalism” HERE.

Order “Christianity and Liberalism” HERE. Highly recommended!
