Book Description<\/h2>\n

The writing of John Gresham Machen was characterized by clarity of thought, depth of scholarship, and an evident passion for the message of the Bible. It is a mark of his peculiar gifts that none of these features is lacking in these chapters of New Testament Introduction<\/em>. Now available for the first time in book form, they are a valuable part of Machen’s witness to the integrity,\u00a0magnificence, and plentitude of the writings that constitute the New Testament.<\/p>\n
