Summary: Stuggle Births Assurance
Comment: Rather than the struggle of the modernist controversy, Chrisope excellently documents Machen's struggle with New Testement scholarship. The reader is given familiarity with the general mindset (historical consciousness) of Machen's time, then his years of training in America and Germany. These years are brought to life with portions of works and also letters between he and his parents. The climax of this biography is Machen's firm orthodox convictions based on the free investigation of both sides of the biblical criticism dilemma.
Instead of depicting Machen as a fundementalist (as Longfield did in 'Presbyterian Controversy' from a modernist perspective), Chrisope shows forth Machen as the great New Testement scholar he was. His clear and forward stances against liberal theology in the 20's and 30's are brought forth as woven to his earlier, intense scholarship. The maintainence of orthodox Christianity was the motivation of his calling for the ex-communication of ministers who maintained anti-Christian doctrines. This is not to be mistaken with the tradition-bound, reactionary, fundementalism of that time.
This book is highly recommended to any student or even critic of the Bible to see one man's struggle for the sake of truth and clear conscience.
