Publisher's summary

In this book, J. Gresham Machen argues that Christian faith is a “thoroughly reasonable” response - worked in the believer by the power God - to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. He distinguishes between a trusting faith in Christ and a commitment to “the principles of Jesus.” “It is one thing to hold that the ethical principles which Jesus enunciated will solve the problems of society, and quite another thing to come into that intimate, present relation to Him which we call faith...."

Continuing themes earlier explored in his book Christianity and Liberalism, Machen argues that theological modernism “reads salvation out of Christianity” by laying aside concerns of guilt and Hell, and by not respecting the majesty and justice of God.

Written as course material for a series of lectures at Grove City Bible School, What Is Faith? was first published in 1925 and has been republished in several editions since.

What is faith, audiobook

J. Gresham Machen does a thorough, but basic work on explaining the Biblical grounds of faith. The narrator presented the book in an excellent manner with expression and maintained my interest throughout the entire book

Worth the listen for sure.

This is my least favorite of Machen’s writings but it was still good. Purchase was worth it.
