    History: Machen, Narrative Theologian

    [Print] | [Email]

    From Christianity and Liberalism: “The narration of facts is history; the narration of the facts with the meaning of the facts is doctrine.”

    “Although the ideals of the Cynic and Stoic preachers were high, these preachers never succeeded transforming society. The strange thing about Christianity was that it adopted an entirely different method. It transformed the lives of men not by appealing to the human will, but by telling a story; not by exhortation, but by the narration of an event.”
