The Life of J. Gresham Machen, Part 1

Alongside the remarkable book Christianity and Liberalism is a remarkable life. The life of J. Gresham Machen twists and turns from a man who doesn’t know what to do with his life to a man who would ultimately spend it in defending the Christian faith. In this lesson, Dr. Nichols divides Machen’s life into four sections and explores the first two, “Foundations” and “Princeton I,” describing Machen’s well-to-do background and his journey toward Christian ministry.
