John Gresham Machen on today’s education system « Churchmouse Campanologist
The last two posts have featured excerpts from John Gresham Machen‘s Christianity and Liberalism, a short volume which he wrote in 1923 to expose Modernist error in the Church.
Along the way, he also adds insight about Western society. Today, he critiques and criticises modern education methods.
Today’s excerpts are taken from pages 15-19 of the PDF version of the book, generously put together by Reformed Audio. Subheads and emphases are mine for easier navigation.
