The God Who is There
Escape from Reason
He is There and He is Not Silent
The initial trilogy of books from Francis Schaeffer.
How much of my worldview is shaped by Schaeffer's books?
I read virtually all of them - in college - discussing them with my friends. I read Edith's book on Art too.
I wanted to go to L'Abri so bad. Some people thought that I DID go, but I just went into the Air Force.
I see the board here trying to leverage and be guided by their spiritual roots - as a result of being confronted with Edward Gordon's Veridicanism. Maybe your roots are not Schaeffer, but he was the one for me that fused philosophy and Christianity. Of course he was "just a man" - not Jesus - but he made me think, and start from "A is not Non-A" - the basic premise of logic, affirming the validity of Reason. And then there was Escape from Reason - and into the existential SILENCE - only to have it affirmed that He is There and He is Not Silent. And 20 more books or however many there were after that.
Are there hard questions?
Does it require a wisdom-but-in-love that Schaeffer's books could give us?
It just may be.
Christians of this board - leverage your own spiritual roots - and we will go from Joshua and the Flow of Biblical History into answers for today.
