[Glossary] J. Gresham Machen
1. (Clark 1965, 15): "In the early thirties, J. Gresham Machen, a scholar of world renown, tried to halt unbelief in the Presbyterian Church; but he was excommunicated for his loyalty to the Word of God -- and excommunicated without being allowed the simple justice of presenting his defense in any of the three church courts through which his case was carried."
