I am reviewing this 1923 book in our “Old Book Update” for a few reasons. First, it is a classic and every Christian ought to know about it. Machen was one of the Princeton theologians who, along with B. B. Warfield, fought encroaching liberalism in the first part of this century. This book has been […]

The Challenge of Postmodernism
This is a collection of twenty-three essays on this subject. Most of them were originally delivered at the 1994 spring Southeastern Region meeting of the Evangelical Theological Society, hosted by the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. There is a wide range of viewpoints represented but all sound a note of urgency about presenting […]
OK, What Is Postmodernism
We must not forget that the world is on fire. We are not only losing the church, but our entire culture as well. We live in the post-Christian world which is under the judgment of God. I believe today that we must speak as Jeremiah did. . . And if this is true in our […]
Christian Apologetics in the Postmodern ...

We need and usually desire to have technological advantages but we often hate what they do to our lives. The clock was invented to regulate the prayer time of […]
Reaching The Postmodern Man
I searched for America’s greatness in her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. I searched for America’s greatness in her halls of Congress, and it was not there. I searched for America’s greatness in her rich and fertile fields and teeming potential, and it was not there. It was not until I went into […]
Postmodern Times
As I have written in this month’s article, ‘‘postmodern’’ describes the times in which we live. This is a 1994 book and none of the books in the footnotes on this subject date before 1989. Veith presents a sobering and thought-provoking look at ourselves, especially in America. He quotes Princeton theologian Diogenes Allen saying, ‘‘A […]
