2023 Winter Conference—Machen’s Christianity and Liberalism: 100 Years Later

Posted On October 10, 2022

One hundred years ago, J. Gresham Machen wrote his classic book Christianity and Liberalism. His answers to rising challenges in the church and the world are perhaps even more necessary now than when the book was published in 1923. Christians today must heed Machen’s clarion call to steer clear of compromise and to stand for the faith once for all delivered to the saints (Jude 3).

Join us on January 16, 2023, at Reformation Bible College in Sanford, FL, for our 2023 Winter Conference. Together, we will look back to Machen’s life and work, his hope in the power of the gospel, and his prayer that a new Reformation would “burst forth once more in God’s good time.” This needed perspective can help us address the formidable challenges Christians face today and answer the call to remain faithful to God’s unchanging truth.

Registration includes admission to all sessions and access to a bookstore with special conference pricing for select titles. Register today for only $35.
