A review by sofer_mahir
Christianity and Liberalism by J. Gresham Machen

4.0

It's unfortunately the case that even in conservative churches people are advocating more and more against "divisive doctrine." It's unfortunately the case that liberalism hasn't died out over the last hundred years, and that its adherents do still resort to dishonesty in order to gain positions in Christian schools and churches. It's unfortunately the case that the religion put forward by liberalism is completely devoid of hope, and it's leading people to eternal deaths. Machen's arguments are as important now as they were when he wrote them.

As far as the prose itself, Machen is very clear and untechnical. However, the book is, at times, meandering and repetitive. If I were his editor, I'd have shaved about fifty pages off the top. Chapters 1, 3, and 4, are exceptions to this trend.
