Editorial Reviews

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.
A readable and compelling narrative. . . . Machen remains worth hearing, and Hart succeeds admirably at making him audible.
A challenging, informative, and nonprejudicial look at the most ‘highbrow’ of the fundamentalists, J. Gresham Machen. . . . For a scholarly book that will provide edifying challenges and enough food for thought to support a hibernation, read Defending the Faith.
Provides Machen with a deserved biography, rewarding for the way [Hart] sets the theologian into the context of the 1920s.
