How will the Christian faith survive in a skeptical world? Modernists in the early twentieth century considered the solution to be clear. Thinking the church needed to be rescued from irrelevance, they laid aside unpopular teachings from the Bible and recast Christianity simply as a way of life. Resisting these attempts, J. Gresham Machen gave an unbending response: Christian doctrine isn’t the problem—unbelief is.
Ligonier’s one-hundredth anniversary edition of Machen’s classic book, Christianity and Liberalism, shows a new generation that God’s message of salvation is timeless. In defending essential Christian doctrines and exposing liberalism as a false religion, Machen reminds the church that we are entrusted with the truth that the world needs most.

This centennial edition of Christianity and Liberalism will be available on July 13. Addressing fundamental doctrines of the faith, Machen’s book carries enduring relevance today for every Christian, making it a fitting gift for a believer of any age, a helpful resource for group discussion, or a valuable addition to your home or church library.
The truths under attack in 1923 must still be defended in 2023. Each chapter offers incisive wisdom that can equip the church to stand firm for foundational teachings of Christianity:
Doctrine
God and Man
The Bible
Christ
Salvation
The Church
