What Is Faith?

In What Is Faith?, J. Gresham Machen emphasizes that Christian faith is a reasonable response to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, rooted in a personal, present relationship with Him rather than merely ethical principles. He critiques modernist interpretations of Christianity that de-emphasize doctrines of guilt and divine justice, and argues for the importance of a genuine faith that recognizes the majesty of God. Originally written as a series of lectures, the book continues to explore fundamental aspects of Christian belief and its distinction from superficial or incomplete understandings.
