Description



About the Book



Tracing trends in 20th century thought, Schaeffer shows that Christianity offers meaning where there is purposelessness, and hope where there is despair.



Book Synopsis



Truth is no longer based on reason. What we feel is now the truest reality. Yet despite our obsession with the emotive and the experiential, we still face anxiety, despair, and purposelessness. Tracing trends in twentieth century thought, Francis A. Schaeffer shows that Christianity offers meaning where there is purposelessness and hope where there is despair.



Review Quotes




Schaeffer had a way of communicating Christianity to modern culture--we need more like him today. This book provides an excellent introduction to his ideas.
