Insightful and engaging

I encourage anyone with an open mind and sensitive heart to read this book. If you are unsure about what to believe in this world filled with cosmic contradictions and moral uncertainty. If you long for purpose and meaning in your life, this book will point you in the right direction.

Possibly the most important book you can read

This is a book that every thinking person should read. It is a difficult book to read and I recommend reading through the glossary several times before even attempting the text itself. When you stumble over a passage and cannot totally comprehend it in your mind, just go ahead and see if things aren't clearer after a few more pages. Whatever you do, don't give up. This book can open the world to you.

Schaeffer levels the playing field

Those who think Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins have somehow wiped Christians off the playing field of philosophy and morality debates, need to read Francis Schaeffer. Dawkins and Harris are nothing more than pseudo-intellectuals who stand beneath the shadow of men like Schaeffer. Their arguments were answered before they even penned them!!

A wonderful book!

Taking the roof off

This collection is, I suppose, considered to be Schaeffer's magnum opus in the realm of apologetics. After discussing and ministering to students for years, Schaeffer wrote these books as a sort of overall response to the major questions he found himself continually answering. The series attempts to track the spread of modernist, naturalistic thinking through the culture, and the despair it produced. Schaeffer's solution was to lead individuals through the logical inconsistencies of their loosely held positions, and showing the rationality of believing in the "God who is there". This collection is a must for those interested in studying apologetics.

Plato to Camus....

Francis Shaeffer's Trilogy is a complex apologetic if it's precisely an apologetic at all. Rather than a patterned defense of the Christian worldview, it offers a philosophical dissection of those worldviews which compete with it. Shaeffer's three essential books could fairly be one in three parts when overlap is eliminated. Thickly worded, a bit repetitive, though often brilliant, Shaeffer time and again trots out for display the contradictions of materialism, pantheism, liberal theism, etc., the denouement of which is the flipside cogency of orthodox Christianity.

Whether the reader agrees is entirely problematic for everyone finds what they wish to find and no single book is likely to change that. But Shaeffer, on a level visited by relatively few, certainly takes a legitimate swing at it. He offers valuable insight, shows extraordinary range, and unerringly pinpoints the chink in the materialist's armor. Shaeffer's trilogy is by no means a light read, but certainly worth the investment. Should you prefer a primer, try Pearcey's "Total Truth". 4+ stars.
