J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) was an American Presbyterian theologian and professor who played a significant role in the conservative–liberal controversy within American Protestantism in the early 20th century. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University and Princeton Theological Seminary, Machen's scholarly pursuits and theological convictions led him to critique the rising influence of modernist theology. In his classic work, 'Christianity and Liberalism' (1923), he argued for the historical integrity and doctrinal substance of orthodox Christianity against the prevailing liberal currents that sought to adapt religion to modern science and ethics. His erudition and articulate defense of conservative theology were also evident in his other significant contributions such as 'The Virgin Birth of Christ' (1930), which offered a rigorous defense of this traditional doctrine. Even though less cited, 'The Literature and History of New Testament Times,' his scholarly analysis on the cultural and historical context of the New Testament, proved his extensive expertise in biblical scholarship. Machen's engagement with theological controversies and his foundational work in establishing the Westminster Theological Seminary in 1929 cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in the defense of conservative reformed theology. His works continue to influence evangelical thought to this day.
