J. Gresham Machen – författare

J. Gresham Machen, a prominent and controversial figure of his era, stood out in the ecclesiastical world of the 1920s and 1930s, where few religious leaders commanded as much attention as he did. As a scholar, Professor at Princeton and Westminster Seminaries, church leader, and a staunch advocate for biblical Christianity, Machen emerged as one of the most articulate defenders of the faith in the twentieth century.

The compilation "God Transcendent" features Machen''s addresses, providing a profound insight into why he was esteemed as a remarkable individual. Through these messages, Machen delves into the magnificence and splendor of God, the profound impact of the gospel, and the joyous experience of serving Christ on the front lines of spiritual warfare. These addresses illuminate the reasons behind Machen''s unwavering commitment to defending biblical truth against error, emphasizing his belief that true soldiers of Jesus Christ cannot avoid the battle.

Among the notable messages in this collection is Machen''s renowned address, "The Active Obedience of Christ," delivered just weeks before his passing on January 1, 1937.

The three chapters contained in this book are addresses which J. Gresham Machen broadcast on the radio on the three consecutive Sundays before his death on January 1, 1937.
