J. Gresham Machen is considered the last in the lineage of the Great Princeton Theologians, following in the steps of Archibald Alexander, Charles Hodge, A. A. Hodge, and B. B. Warfield. Machen taught at Princeton Seminary for almost 15 years and established himself as a well respected New Testament scholar. After a dispute that divided faculty members over an emerging modernist theology, Machen left Princeton and became one of the principal founders of Westminster Theological Seminary, where he taught until his death.
The Origin of Paul’s Religion consists of eight lectures on the history of Christianity that J. Gresham Machen delivered as part of the James Sprunt Lecture series at Union Theological Seminary in Virginia. Machen examines and refutes the modernist theories which denied Paul’s claim of the supernatural origin of his religion, and shows both by the witness of the opposers themselves, and by the Scriptures, that Paul’s own explanation is the only satisfactory one. “Explain the origin of the religion of Paul,” writes Machen in the Introduction, “and you have solved the problem of the origin of Christianity.”
