Mencken on Machen - AC056

H.L. Mencken was a skeptic and satirist that rhetorically skewered many opponents on the topics of politics and religion. However, he wrote very highly of J. Gresham Machen, a Presbyterian peer that many might have assumed he would oppose on every level. Let’s get into these writings and see if there is anything we can learn about these significant men, and admiring those with differing, yet consistent beliefs.   AnarchoChristian Resources on Mencken and Machenhttps://www.anarchochristian.com/mr-machen-goes-to-washington/ https://www.anarchochristian.com/defending-scoundrels/ https://www.anarchochristian.com/the-impregnable-rock/ https://www.anarchochristian.com/dr-fundamentalis/ Recommended Books:Christianity and Liberalism, by Machen https://amzn.to/2YM9nt9 A Mencken Chrestomathy: His Own Selection of His Choicest Writing https://amzn.to/3dp9uyR Additional resources:http://nietzsche.holtof.com/Nietzsche_the_will_to_power/the_will_to_power_book_I.htm https://www.reasonablefaith.org/writings/popular-writings/existence-nature-of-god/the-absurdity-of-life-without-god/ https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/mod/nietzsche-madman.asp https://sharperiron.org/article/mencken-machen-part-2 https://sharperiron.org/article/mencken-machen-part-1 https://opc.org/OS/MachenRegulative.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Gresham_Machen#cite_note-14 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._L._Mencken https://www.anarchochristian.com/6-books-to-quarantine-by-part-2-preachers-pastors-ministers/      Support the show! www.AnarchoChristian.com/support   Find us on the web! www.AnarchoChristian.com www.twitter.com/anarchoxp www.facebook.com/anarchochristian www.youtube.com/channel/UCCViA1stFYP7bskwVk4uAgg www.paxlibertas.com   Subscribe today, and don’t miss an episode! iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/anarchochristian-evaluating-relationship-between-christian/id1339744391  Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Io2icydyrrbqnhliq22xjnhvqpu   Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=166143&refid;=stpr   Android: http://www.subscribeonandroid.com/anarchochristian.libsyn.com/rss    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCViA1stFYP7bskwVk4uAgg     Tune by Owen-Glass:  https://owen-glass.com
