I recently finished leading a group of guys through this book and it was a lot of fun. This book is a collection of radio addresses from Machen back in the day. The chapters are short and compressed, easy to work through and easy to understand. Machen goes through what a typical Systematic Theology book would have in it, and breaks the subject down into a truly basic level. It is very similar to Packer's Concise Theology, but where Packer gives like 1-2 pages per subject, Machen gives 7-8 pages per subject. I made a short and basic study guide for this book that I believe helped us all retain and understand the subject matter and can make it available for anyone else who wants to work through this book. Just message me here.

This book is brilliant. Machen simultaneously catechises believers, evangelizes unbelievers, and answers modernist objections to Biblical Christianity. Amazingly, he is able to do this at an accessible level. I highly recommend this book, but don't buy it from Amazon. It costs twice as much as Reformation Heritage Books.
