Acknowledged by his critics and admirers alike as the greatest leader of thewhole cause of evangelical Christianity in moderntimes, Machen raised the intellectual acuteness of Protestant orthodoxy to a point where observerssuch as H. L. Mencken and Walter Lippmann claimedthat in the religious debates of the twenties andthirties, the liberals had yet to answer him.
Writing out of the experiences of more than seven years of intimate association with Machen, and a wealth of sources which reveal completely the mind and heart of this learned and valiant spiritual warrior, Stonehouse tells the complete Machen story: the childhood years, the student days at Princeton under Warfield and Patton, the years abroad at theuniversities of Marburg and Gottingen, and againin 1918-19 in France and Belgium, Machen's books,his deep attachment to his remarkable mother, hiscultural pursuits and love of literature, and thehistorical controversies at Princeton which led tothe reorganization of that seminary, and to the forming of Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, inwhich Machen played leading roles.
Stonehouse's biography is a perceptive and illuminating account which reveals in Machen, warmly and personally,both the man and the scholar; and, because of Machen's weighty influence over the ecclesiastical world of his time, it is an intimate history of thestruggles of early twentieth century American Calvinism. Ned B. Stonehouse (1902-1962) was a minister in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Professor of New Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia for 33 years, from its founding in 1929 until his death. After studying under Machen at Princeton, he was Machen's intimate friend and associate for more than seven years, and later was his successor.
