The Present Emergency

Stephen Nichols

“The Present Emergency and How to Meet It” was the title of the first radio recording in a series of talks from J. Gresham Machen to the American public. This message, when heard alongside his inaugural lecture as a professor at Princeton Theological Seminary, gives us a sense of Machen’s unwavering convictions. In this lesson, Dr. Nichols explains how, despite change, Machen’s answer to present emergencies was the Bible and its message.
