What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“What is the long-term significance of Francis Schaeffer? I am sure that I shall not be at all wrong when I hail Schaeffer—who saw so much more and agonized over it so much more tenderly than the rest of us do—as one of the truly great Christians of my time.”
—J. I. PackerJ. I. Packer, Late Board of Governors’ Professor of Theology, Regent College

“When I went to L’Abri many years ago as an agnostic, it was the first time I encountered Christians who engaged with the cultural and intellectual world. A leader distinguished by his integrity and authenticity, Francis Schaeffer shows how the richness of biblical truth illuminates the course of history as well as our individual lives.”
—Nancy Pearcey, Professor and Scholar in Residence, Houston Christian University; author, Love Thy Body and The Toxic War on Masculinity

“There is no other important Christian thinker of our era who has tackled as many fundamental intellectual, philosophical, and theological issues as Schaeffer did, and no one else has so revealed their relevance to us.”
—Harold O. J. Brown, Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Systematic Theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
