J. Gresham Machen Quote

"I learned to escape...from the heartless machinery of the world, and the equally heartless machinery...of a church organization nominally dedicated to Christ, and refresh my soul with the friendliness of the hills."- from J. Gresham Machen a Silhouette by Henry W. Coray (page 42)
J. Gresham Machen during a hiking trip in the mountains in the early 1930s

Resources – Machen Library

“In the early twentieth century J. Gresham Machen emerged as one of America’s best known Protestant intellectuals and a widely respected fundamentalist. But as an opponent of Prohibition and defender of civil liberties, Machen became an improbable ally of secular intellectuals who sought to liberate cultural and intellectual life from Protestant dominance. How could America’s most articulate spokesman for traditional Christianity earn praise from the likes of H. L. Mencken and Walter Lippmann?” -- see more quotes, books, and resources in the Machen Library
