BOOK DESCRIPTION
In 1923, J. Gresham Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism delivered a searing indictment of theological liberalism, exposing it not as a variant of Christianity but as a rival religion that undermines the Bible’s authority, the deity of Christ, and salvation through his atoning work. A century later, this annotated edition revitalizes Machen’s prophetic voice for 2025, confronting modern liberalism’s new guises—progressive theology, cultural relativism, and social justice activism—with unyielding clarity.
 
Meticulously updated by Christian Publishing House, this edition modernizes spelling, grammar, and syntax while preserving Machen’s original text and intent. Archaic terms have been replaced with contemporary American English, and the content is refreshed to address today’s challenges—from universalism to moral relativism—without diluting Machen’s uncompromising stance. Outdated references have been revised, all biblical citations use the ESV translation, and each chapter retains its original length to ensure fidelity to the author’s vision. A new, robust appendix, “Conservative Evangelical Christianity in the 21st Century,” extends Machen’s battle, defending biblical faith against liberalism’s distortions with scriptural rigor and contemporary evidence.
 
This edition is a battle cry for the Church to stand firm on the truth of the gospel in an age of compromise. Rejecting interfaith platitudes and ecumenical vagueness, it calls believers to proclaim Christ’s exclusive saving work with courage. For pastors, scholars, and laypeople alike, Christianity and Liberalism remains an essential guide for discerning truth from error and upholding the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 1:3).
