On this episode, we discuss J. Gresham Machen’s famous and historic book, Christianity and Liberalism, first published in 1923. Joining us is church historian Darryl G. Hart, a noted Machen biographer and history professor at Hillsdale College. We set Machen in context, explore the rise and goals of theological liberalism, and explore a wide array of themes in American church history. To this day, Machen’s work remains relevant for orthodox Christians of all stripes, but especially to Protestant churchmen.
