J. Gresham Machen

Summary

This sermon highlights J. Gresham Machen as a significant scholarly voice defending conservative Protestantism in early 20th-century America amidst emerging controversies. Machen, though sometimes uncomfortable with the "fundamentalist" label, embraced the entirety of Reformed theology, particularly the Westminster Confession of Faith. The takeaway is that early fundamentalism, exemplified by Machen, was characterized by intellectual rigor and theological depth, contrasting with later derogatory perceptions.
