Schaeffer on the Christian Life: Countercultural Spirituality
By William Edgar, Series edited by Stephen J. Nichols, Justin Taylor
Francis Schaeffer was one of the most influential apologists of the twentieth century. Through his speaking, writing, and filmmaking, Schaeffer successfully transformed the way people thought of the Christian faith, from a rather private kind of piety to a worldview that addresses every sphere of life. This volume—written by a man converted from agnosticism within days of meeting Schaeffer—is the first book devoted to exploring the heart and soul of Schaeffer¡¯s approach to the Christian life, and will help readers strive after the same kind of marriage of thought and life, of orthodoxy and love.
Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

Endorsements:
\"Friendly, passionate, intellectual, and constantly engaged with people as well as ideas and contemporary affairs, Francis Schaeffer comes alive in Edgar's objective but affectionate portrait. Rescued from the distortions of both lionisers and demonizers, here is 'FAS' as so many of us knew him in the great years of L'Abri—and with so much to contribute to our world today.\"
Os Guinness, author, The Call
¡°This book by Dr. Edgar on countercultural spirituality is much needed as a trustworthy guide in the dark confusion of the postmodern world.¡±
Wim Rietkerk, Chairman, L¡¯Abri Fellowship International Board of Trustees
¡°An engaging, fascinating account, seasoned with unusual insight into one of the truly original apologists of our time.¡±
David F. Wells, Distinguished Senior Research Professor, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary; author, The Courage to Be Protestant: Truth-Lovers, Marketers and Emergents in the Postmodern World
