The Person of Jesus

Radio Addresses on the Deity of the Savior

By: J. Gresham Machen

Narrated by: Kent LaTurno

In his renowned book Christianity and Liberalism, Machen took a stand for the truth. In these radio talks, Machen exposits the truth for us once more - this time about the supernatural person of Jesus.

"When I was in seminary I discovered these radio addresses by J. Gresham Machen in which he offered a highly accessible and popular presentation of Christian doctrine, and Reformed doctrine at that. I was fascinated by the media savvy of Machen. These lucid radio talks preceded C.S. Lewis's famous broadcasts by several years. I have read and profited from them for decades. Their arguments and illustrations have strongly influenced my preaching. I can't recommend them enough." (Timothy Keller, New York Times best-selling author)

Wonderful, if not at first...

Machen is biblical, insightful, and clear, as always. 5 stars. Two thumbs way up.

Most of his dealings with "higher-criticism" are straightforward or under-the-surface, but a few times move almost into the academic.

The narration is great, although it starts out over-reading Machen's "holy indignation". This thankfully turns into a polemical charm that is quite enjoyable and ought to have been characteristic throughout.

great content and well read

the reader understood Machen's sense of humor and portrayed it well in his reading. it is fun to listen to

Clearly Written and Read

The content of these radio addresses is an excellent theologically rich discussion of Jesus' deity on a very understandable level. Overall, the subjects addressed are directed specifically at an earlier audience influenced by Neo Orthodoxy. But Machen did an excellent job making his subjects clear. The reader is certainly lively!

Christology

The narrator was excellent to listen too because he was very expressive and a joy to hear what Machen wrote. In the past years I owned a couple of his paperback books and gave them away to other brothers and sisters in Christ but, I like hearing someone read to me especially after Romans 10: 16-17.

Perfect In Length and In Content

This is perfectly done in both length and content just as Machen is known for. The theology is pure and biblically rooted and is in much need for today's church.
