This well-worn copy of J. Gresham Machen’s “New Testament Greek for Beginners” bears the marks of a lifetime of study. Machen, a prominent scholar and theologian of the early 20th century, was a leading figure in the conservative Presbyterian movement and a staunch defender of biblical inerrancy. Published in 1923, this textbook was a foundational resource for generations of students learning Koine Greek, the original language of the New Testament. Despite its age and wear, this copy’s secure binding and penciled notes throughout attest to its enduring value as a tool for serious biblical scholarship. For collectors, it offers a tangible connection to a pivotal era in American Protestantism and the ongoing debates over the interpretation and authority of scripture.
