Genesis in Space and Time; The Flow of Biblical History (Bible Commentary for Layman) 10 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Regal Books, 1972
A truly mind-expanding book
Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-84) was an American Evangelical theologian and philosopher whose works were very influential on Evangelical thinking. In this fascinating book, Dr. Schaeffer takes a look at the first eleven chapters of the book of Genesis, which many Christian thinkers seem to find irrelevant to a truly Christian worldview. On the contrary, Dr. Schaeffer shows that the early history of ...

Art And the Bible: Two Essays (Ivp Classics) 15 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
IVP Books, 2007
Art and the Bible... Certainly one of my favorite reads
Many people might want to analyze this work to death on an intellectual level. To examine the author's language for rhythm and music, to look for the high in the best of essays and speeches. They would have missed the point.
There is such an ugliness to so many subjects now. Everything seems mixed in a bad way, and no single subject seems to offer a note or a page or an element of clarity. ...

25 Basic Bible Studies3 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 1996
A straight-forward study of scripture
This book is an excellent Bible study tool. It is perfect for beginnng Bible study students, but I would also recommend it as a guide for small group or home Bible studies.. Francis Schaeffer was a very spiritual (but not religious!) man with a great amount of integrity. I also recommend his commentary on Romans 1-8. If you feel that religion has let you down and want to know what the God of ...

The Mark of the Christian15 reviews
Francis Schaeffer
InterVarsity Press, 1976
A down and dirty litmus test for Christians
I first read this book as a young Christian and now am impressed with how many of the concepts I have adopted in my own creed. I detest pop Christian symbols and the urge to define a Christian by market forces. Schaeffer attempts to challenge the reader into not only glimpsing in the mirror, but to really make changes accordingly.

Escape from Reason: A Penetrating Analysis of Trends in Modern Thoughts (Ivp Classics) 23 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
IVP Books, 2007
escape from reason
this book is short and brief (100 pages or so), that is its intended appeal. it is not and does not claim to be a comprehensive analysis of all theological and philosophical thought-- just a very thoughtful and broad view of the impact of thought, art, industry, etcetera and its culmination on the state of our current society. to this end the book is fullfilling.

Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or ...66 reviews
Frank Schaeffer
Da Capo Press, 2007
A Story that Needed to be told!
I first read Frank Schaeffer's book "Baby Jack The Novel" and felt it was a brilliant story and well written. I never realized that this author was the also the same guy who was one of those fundamentalist leaders who helped marry the religious right to the GOP. In his newest book "Crazy for God" the author writes a very personal and brutally honest memoir, that opens up and exposes the ...

True Spirituality17 reviews
Francis Schaeffer
Tyndale House Publishers, 1972
Life changing
This book was out of print for quite some time. I first read it when it was loaned to me by a friend. What I learned from this book opened my eyes and changed my view of spirituality entirely. I was thrilled to find it back in print and to have a copy for my own home library. I would recommend True Spirituality to any Christian.

The God Who Is There19 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
InterVarsity Press, 1998
A seminal work in Christian lit to counteract despair
Say Francis Schaeffer's name and the informed Christian will straighten his armor of righteousness and stand erect with his Sword of Truth, or the Word of God. "Schaeffer [is] the great prophet of our age," is how Charles Colson describes him. Schaeffer's seminal work, "The God Who Is There," is an explanation of the despair that wracks modern man to his core and explains that the only logical ...

The Finished Work of Christ: The Truth of Romans 1-87 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 1998
A clear, cogent, and timely commentary on Romans 1-8.
This book comes several years after Dr. Schaeffer's death in 1984 at the age of 72. It was transcribed and from tapes made of Bible studies on Romans 1-8 in the 1960s and edited. The writing is smooth and clear, despite the unorthodox route to publication. They are not scraping the bottom of the barrel for material. This is vintage Schaeffer. Francis A. Schaeffer is most known as an evangelical ...

Pollution and the Death of Man5 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer, Udo W. Middelmann
Crossway Books, 1992
Excellent Analysis of Christianity and the Environment
This masterpiece of logical thinking is unequaled in the realm of Christian literature for its conciseness of content and expressiveness of thought. In this book, Schaeffer discusses the Christian approach to the environment and deals with the all-too-common misconceptions peddled by those Christians who are either ignorant of Biblical truth in this area, or are so intent on distancing ...

The Great Evangelical Disaster5 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 1984
Don't Wait. Read This Now
I have had this book on my shelf since 1985 (sorry Amazon.com, but it was before you were around) and was fearful of picking it up. The title, along with Franky Schaeffer's book Addicted to Mediocrity, and Franky's eventual abandonment of evangelical brand of Christianity for Eastern Orthodox, led me to believe that this might be a screed against evangelicalism. How silly was my fear. This ...

C.S. Lewis & Francis Schaeffer: Lessons for a New Century from the Most Influential Apologists of Our Time 8 reviews
Scott R. Burson, Jerry L. Walls
InterVarsity Press, 1998
Use this as a Tool to Examine Your Own Faith
I selected this book to read after reading Hugh Hewett's "The Embarassed Believer". I wanted to get a better feel for what apologetics is about. What better place to go than to the two greatest apologists of the 20th century. Burson and Walls certainly have a point of view, but I do not think that it detracts from their comparisons of Lewis and Schaeffer. I found that it pushed me to hold up my ...

Francis Schaeffer: An Authentic Life6 reviews
Colin Duriez

Introducing Francis Schaeffer
Introducing Francis A. Schaeffer
Francis A. Schaeffer was perhaps the most influential Christian apologist of the latter twentieth century. His fame was such that even Time magazine reported on his "mission to intellectuals" in 1960 and noted his passing in 1984. Yet few individuals today, even among evangelical Christians, know who he was. He studied the changing culture of the sixties and ...

Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus: Experiencing the Peace and Promise of Christmas
Nancy Guthrie
Crossway Books, 2008
An anthology of Advent readings collected from the writings and sermons of 22 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers. Between purchasing presents and planning travel, enjoying holiday pageants and attending parties, it is all too easy for Christmas to silence the sacredness and crowd out a quiet anticipation of the season?s truths. So when editor Nancy Guthrie decided she wanted a reflective book of Advent readings that would ...

A Christian Manifesto13 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 2005
Prophetic
Francis Schaeffer had amazing insight into the world around him. He looked around and made predictions that others thought impossible to ever come true. He tied together causes that others disregarded. He described a coming world view that others comsidered extreme and alarmist. Now . . . it has come to pass. Many today will read this book and have trouble believing that Schaeffer's world ...

Now I'm a believer
After years of hearing about Francis Schaeffer's work, I finally picked up How Should We Then Live? last winter. I was not impressed, though I could see a sharp and brilliant mind at work in the book. My friends still insisted that Schaeffer was worth reading, and so shortly thereafter I read A Christian Manifesto, which I liked more, though still with misgivings. He is There and He is Not ...

The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer: A Christian Worldview (5 Volume Set)24 reviews
Francis A. Schaeffer
Crossway Books, 1985
A Modern Classic for Thoughtful People Who Care
Having recently reread many of the works of Francis Schaeffer, it seems right to list several lessons he can teach Bible-believing Christians (and others) today. Schaeffer was a prophetic generalist, pastor, apologist, and primarily an evangelist. That latter is how he typically explained himself.
1. Schaeffer had a passion for God and truth. This came out of his intellectual conversion as a ...
