This collection of twenty sermons and homilies from J. Gresham Machen, edited by Ned Stonehouse, is a small window into the heart and soul of a theologian-pastor who proclaimed the Gospel forthrightly, unapologetically, and powerfully in his generation. Those who have read Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism (see my review) will recognize the same clarity, conciseness, and authority with which Machen exercises his pen. Seminary students will especially appreciate the honest homilies directed to seminarians in which Machen encourages his students neither to ignore their doubts nor their sins (of which the sacred halls of seminaries are no doubt filled), but to bring them to Christ and to his cross. Orthodox Presbyterians will appreciate the opportunity to sense the pulse and passion of one of our fathers in the faith who stood firm when others gave way. All those who love the Gospel of Jesus Christ will be encouraged and enriched by Machen’s cogent reflections upon the Christian life as it is founded upon Christian doctrine.
