"One of the great achievements of Hart's biography is his contextualization of Machen, in which these anomalies resolve themselves into a coherent if not always attractive personality... What makes Hart's achievement remarkable is the skill with which he has synthesized these interpretive pieces into a readable and compelling narrative."--Allen C. Guelzo, Christianity Today. "Hart's portrait of Machen provides a novel perspective that merits the attention of those interested not just in fundamentalism but in the place of faith in modern America."--Bradley J. Longfield, Christian Century. No library descriptions found. |

As far as Machen goes he makes for an interesting study. He was a very tender hearted man and certainly a conservative, but was against prohibition. He through himself into his seminary studies but it was a long time before he could even decide to go to seminary. He took his classes serioulsy but he would miss thme for a football game. Today I don't believe he is that well know outside the Presbyterian church but was certainly well known outside the church then and was asked to testify at the scopes monkey trial but declined. his works today are certainly well worth reading.
