Machen's Hope

Description

J. Gresham Machen is known as a conservative hero of the fundamentalist-modernist controversy. But was he always so staunchly antimodernist? Richard E. Burnett examines Machen’s life and career, including seldom studied topics like his crisis of faith and support for historical criticism of Scripture. Burnett’s nuanced narrative of Machen’s intellectual arc will challenge scholars’ assumptions about Machen and his era.
