Gresham Machen died on 1 January 1937, his former colleague at Princeton Theological Seminary, Caspar Wistar Hodge lamented that the English-speaking world had lost its ‘greatest theologian’.' Obviously, such sentiments reflected the suddenness of Machen’s death and a high regard for his considerable abilities; at the time Machen was only 55 and the widely acknowledged leader of conservative Protestantism in the United States, having written important books in New Testament studies and polemical theology while a professor at Princeton, and then having established amid theological controversies in the Presbyterian Church, USA a new school, Westminster Theological Seminary.2 Other fundamentalist leaders such as William Jennings Bryan or William Bell Riley may have rivalled Machen’s popularity, but his scholarly achievements and thoughtful arguments had earned him respect from secular intellectuals and conservative churchmen alike. Still, seeing how the United Kingdom could also boast of the contributions from her own conservative scholars - from James Orr to Martin Lloyd-Jones Hodge’s encomium may have struck British readers as another example of Yankee braggadocio."engWith permission of the license/copyright holderJ.
