John Gresham Machen (1881 – 1937) is an important figure in Conservative Christianity. In 1905 he spent a year studying under Johann Wilhelm Herrmann. Like Karl Barth, he later rejected such Liberal Christianity teachings, though Barth's work would be seen as fundamentally different in nature and came to be known as the neo-orthodoxy movement. Machen's 1923 book Christianity and Liberalism is considered a classic work of Fundamentalism. "Machen maintained that liberalism was both un-Christian and unscientific[1]." This 1923 book is the conservative response to Harry Emerson Fosdick's 1922 works: the shameless liberal sermon “Shall the Fundamentalists Win?” and the very un-Christian book Christianity and Progress. He helped found Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
