Machen on the Importance of Academic Debate

“What is today a matter of academic speculation begins tomorrow to move armies and pull down empires. In that second stage, it has gone too far to be combatted; the time to stop it was when it was still a matter of impassionate debate.”

J. Gresham Machen, “Christianity and Culture.”
