J. Gresham Machen 'was one of the most colourful and controversial figures of his time, and it is doubtful that in the ecclesiastical world of the twenties and thirties any religious leader was more constantly in the limelight'. Machen was a scholar, Professor at Princeton and Westminster Seminaries, church leader, apologist for biblical Christianity, and one of the most eloquent defenders of the faith in the twentieth century. God Transcendent is a collection of Machen's addresses. It shows, perhaps more clearly than any of his books, why he was such a great man. In these messages, Machen expounds the greatness and glory of God, the wonder and power of the gospel and the exhilaration of serving Christ in the front line of spiritual warfare. They show why Machen fought so tenaciously for biblical truth against error: It is impossible to be a true soldier of Jesus Christ and not fight'. This series of popular messages, includes Machen's famous address, 'The Active Obedience of Christ', delivered only weeks before his death on January 1, 1937.
