Book Reviews of Christianity and Liberalism
Book Review: 20th Century Prophet
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are looking for a book to recommend for someone searching to make sense out of the malaise of the modern (or, post-modern) church, Machen's book is an excellent choice. As was pointed out in other reviews, Christian liberalism is not Christian at all, but is rather a non-Christian religion with Christian tags. Specifically, he highlights liberal beliefs regarding the major doctrines related to God, man, Christ, salvation, and the church. He then refutes these by demonstrating the orthodox Biblical view on each.For those confused on the nature of faith and salvation, Machen, in chapter VI, makes one of the clearest presentations I have read anywhere. That alone is worth the purchase.
This book is very readable and a 20th century classic on the orthodox Protestant faith. Any basic library should stock it.
