	A Short History of the Life of J. G. Machen
		Machen was one of the chief founder of the new denomination.
		However, Machen responded that since the church was a voluntary organization, and one was not forced to join it, the church had the right to insist on its own beliefs, that is, the beliefs that one was required to hold in order to be a member of it.
		Machen was not trying to deny others their rights to believe and practice what they want, but simply asked them to not be hypocrites in the church and hence violate the rights of those in the church to have it as they believe it should be.

	J. Gresham Machen's Response to Modernism :: Desiring God
		Machen came through this time without losing his evangelical faith and was called to Princeton to teach New Testament which he did form 1906 until he left to form Westminster in 1929.
		Machen alerts us to the utter doctrinelessness of our day and the fact that we almost take it for granted that utilitarian thinking is the only hope for success, and that preaching or teaching doctrine is a prescription for failure.
		Machen's interaction with Modernism shows the value of a God-centered vision of all reality – a worldview, a theology that is driven by the supremacy of God in all of life.

	FT March 2000: J. Gresham Machen: Christianity and Liberalism (1923) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Machen never cared for the term "fundamentalism." He thought of himself as no more or no less than an orthodox Christian, confessional Presbyterian, and professor of New Testament, serving at Princeton Seminary until he resigned in 1929.
		How Machen makes his argument concerning what is and what is not of central importance is especially relevant, I think, to the readers of First Things because it speaks to the essence of theological reflection apart from the particulars of religious loyalty.
		The denial of the object of faith is, according to Machen, the chief peril of theological liberalism.

		Machen's answer to this question and hence his solution to the problem is clearly articulated in an address that was originally delivered to the Philadelphia Ministers' Association in the fall of 1912, an address that was originally intended to be "a defense of `scientific theological study.'"
		Machen maintained that Christian scholars accomplish this end neither by cultivating the natural moral capacities of fallen sinners, nor by waging social and political culture wars against the perceived forces of cultural disintegration.
		Machen recognized that masses of people reject the gospel simply because their thinking is dominated by ideas that are "profoundly opposed to Christianity, or at least what is nearly as bad .

	DEFENDER OF THE FAITH: The Life of John Gresham Machen Part 1: Birth to Princeton
		Gresham’s mother, the former Mary (Minnie) Jones, was born in Macon, Georgia.
		Machen found it necessary, for the sake of intellectual and spiritual honesty, to explore the claims of theological liberalism and, while he never abandoned his own orthodox position, was nonetheless “profoundly shaken, even overwhelmed, by his encounter with this man [Herrmann] whose fervor and moral earnestness was so impressive.”
		This time, Machen was persuaded to accept the position, after being assured that he would not have to pursue ordination to qualify for the position.” Nonetheless, Machen felt ill-prepared to undertake the position, and decided that he would, out of respect for Armstrong, accept the appointment for only one year.

		Machen contended that the mandate was not presented to the Assembly in the right manner (little time was provided for study or debate), and that it violated the church’s constitution and due process.

		Although typically, Machen is viewed as a conservative defender of the Gospel and strong ally of Fundamentalism, the writings collected here cast doubts on such unnuanced and myopic caricatures.
		One section in the volume on Christianity and culture reveals Machen's progressive social thought, which does not follow what one might expect from a conservative Presbyterian minister.
		Interestingly, Machen's thought differs from Fundamentalism at several key points and he finds "Calvinist" a better description of his theological identity than the term "Fundamentalist." As a whole, this fine volume presents a compelling and at times surprising portrait of this Presbyterian stalwart, who continues to offer much wisdom to the church today.
