True Spirituality, a twentieth-century spiritual classic, outlines the result of his effort to "start at the beginning" and re-examine his faith. The book is a treasure trove of wisdom for Christians trying to discover what true spirituality looks like in everyday life. Includes a foreword by Chuck Colson and an introduction by Dr. Jerram Barrs, director of the Schaeffer Institute.
In these classic sermons, renowned theologian and philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer teaches believers how to rely on the Holy Spirit—not personal effort or status—in matters of service and leadership.
A Classic Work on the Christian Response to Today’s Ecological Crisis
From the time of creation, God placed the earth in our care. Since then, humans have had a strained relationship with the ecosystem. We have often misused resources and polluted the water, air, and land. But if God’s plan for redemption includes the earth, we must be good stewards of his creation now. With environmental threats increasing, how should Christians respond?
This classic work by Francis A. Schaeffer looks at modern ecological crises through the lens of theology and Scripture. Renowned for his work in applied philosophy and theology, Schaeffer answers serious philosophical questions about creation and ecology. He concludes that we must return to a profoundly and radically biblical understanding of God’s relationship to the earth, and of our divine mandate to exercise godly dominion over it.
Truth used to be based on reason. No more. What we feel is now the truest source of reality. Despite our obsession with the emotive and the experiential, we still face anxiety, despair, and purposelessness.How did we get here? And where do we find a remedy?In this modern classic, Francis A. Schaeffer traces trends in twentieth-century thought and unpacks how key ideas have shaped our society. Wide-ranging in his analysis, Schaeffer examines philosophy, science, art, and popular culture to identify dualism, fragmentation, and the decline of reason.Schaeffer's work takes on a newfound relevance today in his prescient anticipation of the contemporary postmodern ethos. His critique demonstrates Christianity's promise for a new century, one in as much need as ever of purpose and hope.
In 2006, Christianity Today voted The God Who Is There as one of the top fifty books that have shaped evangelicals.
For decades, The God Who Is There has been the landmark book that changed the way the church sees the world. In Francis Schaeffer's remarkable analysis, we learn where the clashing ideas about God, science, history, and art came from and where they are going. This edition includes an introduction by James W. Sire that places Schaeffer's seminal work in the context of the intellectual turbulence of the early twenty-first century.
More than ever, The God Who Is There demonstrates how historic Christianity can fearlessly confront the competing philosophies of the world. The God who has always been there continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world's deepest problems.
"The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the
arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use
these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind
you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God."Many
Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered
clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust
affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create
reflects our being created in the image of a creator God.
Art and the Bible has been a foundational work for
generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic
essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural
record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes
a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor,
Schaeffer explains why "the Christian is the one whose
imagination should fly beyond the stars."
"It is possible to be a Christian without showing the
mark, but if we expect non-Christians to know that we
are Christians, we must show the mark."
Christians have not always presented an inviting picture
to the world. Too often we have failed to show the beauty
of authentic Christian love. And the world has
disregarded Christianity as a result.
In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance,
the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book.
Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, "Love--and the
unity it attests to--is the mark Christ gave Christians to
wear before the world. Only with this mark may the
world know that Christians are indeed Christians and
that Jesus was sent by the Father."
More than ever, the church needs to respond
compassionately to a needy world. More than ever,
we need to show the Mark.
