The writing of John Gresham Machen (1881–1937) was characterized by clarity of thought, depth of scholarship, and an evident passion for the message of the Bible. It is a mark of his peculiar gifts that none of these features is lacking in these chapters of New Testament Introduction, which forms a valuable part of Machen’s witness to the integrity, magnificence, and plenitude of the writings that constitute the New Testament.

In plain yet graphic fashion, the New Testament is here introduced without its message being relegated to a position of secondary importance. The groundwork of history and geography, biography, and interpretation, is covered thoroughly, and yet in a manner uncluttered by references to innumerable scholars, and in a warmly vibrant style. Those beginning to study the New Testament will find this an invaluable guide, while mature students will discover it to be stimulating and penetrating to an unusual degree. This is a popular work in the best sense, and may be used for both private and group study.

About the Author

Born in 1881 in Baltimore, Maryland, John Gresham Machen developed a personal faith in Jesus as a youth, without being able to recall a single day that he didn’t trust in the Lord. He received his in-depth education at Johns Hopkins University, Princeton University, Princeton Theological Seminary, the University of Marburg and the University of G�ttingen. He taught at Princeton Seminary, and helped to found Westminster Theological Seminary and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. J. Gresham Machen books include Christian View of Man, where he reminds Christians how they are made by God in his image. In God Transcendent, he shares the glory of God and the power of the Gospel. In New Testament Introduction, Machen’s passion, clarity of thought and depth of scholarship are clearly evident as he shares the magnificence of the New Testament, while in What is Faith?, he addresses one of the core issues of the Christian gospel in a powerful, truth-filled manner.
