Autorenporträt
J. Gresham Machen (July 28, 1881 - January 1, 1937) was an American Presbyterian theologian in the early 20th century. He was distinguished for his unwavering defense of orthodox Protestantism and his scholarly contributions in the midst of modern liberal theology. Machen's erudition was deeply rooted in classical languages, history, and a profound understanding of the New Testament, which is reflected in his highly regarded work, 'The Origin of Paul's Religion' (1921). This seminal book critiques the modernist notion that the Apostle Paul's religious convictions were based principally on his personal experiences and psychosomatic narrative. Machen argued robustly for the historical and supernatural foundation of Paul's doctrines, asserting their rootedness in the teachings of Christ and the ancient prophecies. His deft command of historical theology and his ability to synthesize complex philosophical and religious arguments have granted him a lasting place among conservative Christian apologists. Machen's literary style reflects his academic acumen, yet it remains accessible, striving to engage both the scholarly community and the lay Christian populace. As the founder of Westminster Theological Seminary and a pivotal figure in the establishment of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, Machen's legacy endures not only through his writings but also through the institutions he shaped. His works continue influencing evangelical thought and apologetics, affirming the historical authenticity and doctrinal fidelity of Christian tradition.
