J. Gresham Machen: A Forgotten Libertarian

What a great article from 1993 in The Freeman written by Daniel F. Walker about J. Gresham Machen's commitment to liberty as well as the historic Christian faith. I found this thanks to Contemporary Calvinist.

Meet J. Gresham Machen, a leading conservative Christian theologian who led the battle for historic Christianity early in this century.

Machen is often overlooked today, except by those familiar with the world of Reformed Protestant Theology. Such books of his as The Origins of Paul’s Religion and The Virgin Birth of Christ (“monuments to careful historical research and argumentation,” according to historian George Mars-den) are periodically reprinted, as is his classic Christianity and Liberalism, a defense of historic Christianity against theological unbelief.
