Publisher's Description:
A study of Machen’s thought and career that says much about the issues that unsettled mainstream Protestantism’s hold on American intellectual and cultural life.
“Defending the Faith reads with the passion and pathos of historical reconstruction at its best. Hart is a gifted writer, and his subject is a fascinating individual.”
—R. Albert Mohler Jr. (Preaching)
“A readable and compelling narrative. . . . Machen remains worth hearing, and Hart succeeds admirably at making him audible.”
—Allen C. Guelzo (Christianity Today)
