John Gresham Machen (1881"e"1937) was one of the most significant figures in the evangelical church throughout the twentieth century. He is best known through his vision for a truly evangelical presbyterian church in the USA, and as the founder of Westminster Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania. Gifted with an incisive mind which was finely tuned to the highest level of scholarship, he placed above all else his concern for Christ's gospel and the reliability of the Scriptures. For these he was prepared to suffer opposition, abuse, and even rejection. In the Philadelphia seminary, Machen gathered around him a team of men, including Cornelius Van Til, Paul Woolley, John Murray, and Ned Stonehouse, whose work took on international significance, and brought guidance to Christian scholarship and wisdom to the entire Christian church.

It was really helpful to get a fuller picture of Machen as a churchman and scholar (one who had been much acquainted with theological liberalism), not simply a narrow controversialist. The chapter on [b: Christianity and Liberalism|156871|Christianity and Liberalism|J. Gresham Machen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387739498l/156871._SX50_.jpg|151382] was especially valuable in its assessment of Machen in relation to the emergent Fundamentalism of the day.
Also interesting to compare the personalities of Machen and Vos, after having read Vos’s letters a year ago.
Finally, I must register my amusement as a Hollins University alumna, as JGM preached there in 1917. He wrote to Mother Machen, “They are the only pretty girls [...] whom I had seen for 15 years. Had I enjoyed such advantages before I got too old, my life might have been different! It was really lots of fun. I wish I could preach to that same senior class every Sunday, and join the class-meeting afterwards.” !!!! This especially delights because, as a former attendee of such services as still took place in the college chapel in recent decades, I doubt Machen would *ever* have received an invitation to preach there 100 years later. And I don’t know if he would have had the same reaction to the “girls”...! Still, Hollins women have always had their ways of making an impression, it seems! ( )
