Product Description
Few Christians have had a greater impact on our generation than Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer. Now, for the first time, three of his essential works are available in one volume---The God Who Is There, Escape from Reason, and He Is There and He Is Not Silent. Schaeffer himself considered this trio foundational to his entire lifes work. This edition includes text he revised shortly before his death.

Thoughtful and ahead of its time,

This review is from: A Francis A. Schaeffer Trilogy: Three Essential Books in One Volume (Hardcover)
Schaeffer's three books contained in this volume, although they repeat their coverage of some issues, present a prescient and modern way of looking at the world of Christian evangelism. Their treatment of the arts may be somewhat dated, but the trend Schaeffer recognized has only entrenched itself in the interim. There is indeed a line of despair and our modern Western culture is firmly below it. Values are appealed to vaguely and only have meaning as a "leap of faith" into the upper story. If we want our modern culture to understand Christian thought we must first "take the roof off". As long as the current culture prevails, this book will continue to have relevance.

A Great Modern Christian Mind,
By John Bauer (Ft. Leavenworth, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Francis A. Schaeffer Trilogy: Three Essential Books in One Volume (Hardcover)
Francis Schaeffer is an outstanding Christian philosopher, a description he would insist is incorrect (He simply calls himself an evangelist). Tracing the evolution of western non-Christian thought, Schaeffer explores the spiritual shortcomings of philosophical efforts to explain humanity without a real "space-time" (human, historical) Christ. This volume gathers his earlier works written in the late sixties and early seventies. His writing is brilliant, razor sharp, and touchingly human. He never forgets the starting points of Christianity are truth and love. The writing is heavy but so relevant it can't be overlooked.

This book changed my way of thinking!,
By Tyler Speed (Bend, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Francis A. Schaeffer Trilogy: Three Essential Books in One Volume (Hardcover)
A lot of other evangelical books would have us believe that simply by reciting John 3:16, we will be met with success when trying to witness to nonbelievers. This simply does not work most of the time.Francis Schaeffer systematically proves the existence of God and Christ. He also dissects the major philosopical and religious schools of thinking and explains their faults when faced with reality. This is not intended to be a philosophy book, however I would question the intellectual relevance of anybody who would say Francis Schaeffer is a not brilliantly educated in the matters of worldly philosophy. Try reading "How Should We Then Live", "True Spirituality", or "Genesis In Space and Time" for further Schaeffer reading. An excellent book for the neophyte Christian, or for an adolescent is "How to be a Selfish Pig", also by F.A. Schaeffer.
