Episode 162: Richard Burnett on J. Gresham Machen

Jul 8, 2024

Richard Burnett joins the podcast today to discuss his new book, "Machen's Hope: The Transformation of a Modernist in the New Princeton" (Eerdman's, 2024), a spanning biography on J. Gresham Machen, the founder of Westminster Theological Seminary and a main figure of the anti-modernist revolt at Princeton. This text attempts to reevaluate many of the common characterizations of Machen's life and the manner in which he navigated the theological tensions of early-20th century academic theology.
