La pregunta Qué es el hombre? Que surgio de los Salmos hace muchos siglos, sigue siendo una de las cuestiones más vitals de las que confrontan al hombre de nuestro tiempo. Desconcertado por el progreso tecnologico. Y alienado de las convicciones y estilo de vida de sus antepasados, el hombre moderno ha perdido su lugar en el universo. El eco de su desconcierto se puede oir por doquier, desde los graffiti callejeros hasta las canciones del rock, asi como en las subculturas y nuevas religiones de nuestro tiempo. Y sin embargo hay una respuesta a esa crisis de identidad. El hombre fue creado por Dios, a su imagen, para su Gloria. Esta verdad, con todas sus implicaciones, constituye el tema de la popular presentacion de Gresham Machen en Vision Cristiana del Hombre. Explica, tanto a cristianos como a no cristianos, de que manera la Biblia es como un espejo que nos muestra lo que somos. En un lenguaje sencillo pero cuidado, Machen trata temas tales como la creacion, la imagen de Dios, la caida, el pecado, la providencia y solicitud de Dios, asi como su gracia restauradora.’

J. Gresham Machen ‘was one of the most colourful and controversial figures of his time, and it is doubtful that in the ecclesiastical world of the twenties and thirties any religious leader was more constantly in the limelight’. Machen was a scholar, Professor at Princeton and Westminster Seminaries, church leader, apologist for biblical Christianity, and one of the most eloquent defenders of the faith in the twentieth century.

God Transcendent is a collection of Machen’s addresses. It shows, perhaps more clearly than any of his books, why he was such a great man. In these messages, Machen expounds the greatness and glory of God, the wonder and power of the gospel and the exhilaration of serving Christ in the front line of spiritual warfare.They show why Machen fought so tenaciously for biblical truth against error: ‘It is impossible to be a true soldier of Jesus Christ and not fight’.

This series of popular messages, includes Machen’s famous address, The Active Obedience of Christ, delivered only weeks before his death on January 1, 1937.

The question: What is Man? which arose centuries ago in the Psalms remains one of the most vital issues faced by present-day man.

Bewildered by technological advance, alienated from the convictions and lifestyle of his forefathers, modern man has lost his place in the universe. The echoes of his bewilderment can be heard everywhere, from the city graffiti to the rock songs, subcultures and new religions of our time.

Yet there is an answer to man’s identity crisis. Man is made by God, in his image, for his glory. This truth with all its implications, is the theme of Gresham Machen’s popular presentation of The Christian View of Man. It explains, for Christians and non-Christians alike, how the Bible serves as a mirror to show us who we are. In simple yet careful language, Machen deals with such subjects as creation, man as the image of God, the fall, sin, God’s providence and care, and God’s restoring grace.
