His first book The Origin of Pauls Religion 1921 was a masterful andforthright defense of the historical truthfulness and supernaturalism of theNew Testament. This volume is taken from the James Sprunt Lectures delivered atUnion Theological Seminary in Virginia. Machen is absolutely masterful indealing with the antisupernaturalism that was beginning to dominate the churchin the early decades of the twentieth century. Although written 85 years ago itremains a model of biblical scholarship and warm piety. In an age when thenature and content of Pauls message are once again under scrutiny evangelicaland Reformed readers will benefit immensely from a close reading of Machensmasterwork. This book is an outstanding example of careful patient scholarshipthat received high praise when it was first published and continues today todemand attention. R. Scott Clark J. Gresham Machen not only believedpractised and proclaimed Pauls gospel he was also able to defend itsauthenticity at the highest scholarly level. Because The Origin of PaulsReligion penetrates to the heart of the matter it continues to speak tocontemporary controversies over the nature of the gospel and the Christianfaith. Sinclair Ferguson «
