Defending the Faith: J. Gresham Machen and the Crisis of Conservative Protestant

“Provides Machen with a deserved biography, rewarding for the way Hart sets the theologian into the context of the 1920s.”

“A readable and compelling narrative. . . . Machen remains worth hearing, and Hart succeeds admirably at making him audible.”

“Defending the Faith reads with the passion and pathos of historical reconstruction at its best. Hart is a gifted writer, and his subject is a fascinating individual.”

“Hart writes lucid prose about a figure he knows inside and out. By helping us understand Machen, we come to understand an entire era in American church history.”
