Title: A strong treatise against theological liberalism
Review: J. Gresham Machen lays out in plain terms his defense of historic creedal Christianity against the liberalism he saw in the 1920s. This book is often harsh, and does not deal lightly with what the author sees as heresy. This book is certainly no nonsense and forces a person to make a decision either for or against theological liberalism in many places. Machen forces the liberal to admit their divergence from historic Christianity, from a historical Jesus, and from nearly all that the Church claims to hold dear. This book unlike most railings against one viewpoint or another covers its bases well, and any reader regardless of theological position will learn much about how to make arguments using scripture and history.This truly is a great work.
