John Gresham Machen fu un influente teologo presbiteriano americano dei primi del XX secolo. Fu professore del Nuovo Testamento al Princeton Seminary, guidando una rivolta conservatrice contro la teologia modernista. Questa scissione teologica portò alla fondazione del Westminster Seminary come alternativa più ortodossa. Alla fine, Machen guidò la formazione della Chiesa Presbiteriana Ortodossa.

Ned B. Stonehouse, in his helpful Introduction, said, ""Machen was a singularly effective spokesman for Christianity for more than a score of years before his death on New Year's Day, 1937. Though his own books constitute the most significant record of what he had to say, they do not tell the complete story. Especially the public phases of his career as preacher, teacher, educator and citizen are illumined by the contents of the two volumes of sermons and addresses which are now made available to the general reader (the other volume being God Transcendant ). The present volume particularly discloses the rich diversity of his interests and activities as a Christian man and minister."
