Publisher's Summary

As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the 20th century, Francis Schaeffer long pondered the fate of declining Western culture. In this brilliant book, he analyzed the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presented the only viable alternative: living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God's revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible's morals, values, and meaning.

How Should We Then Live? has become the benchmark for Christian worldview thinking today. This edition commemorates the 50th anniversary of L'Abri Fellowship, founded by Francis and Edith Schaeffer.

Very Relevant for Today's World Troubles

Even though he wrote this some years ago, it is uncanny how relevant it is for our current situation in 2020.

As relevant now as when it was written!

Few writers have the ability to see the big picture and explain it so well. These prophetic words have never been more true as in our time. Solid mind food and a reminder of the TRUTH! Beautifully read too.

A profound overview of philosophical thought.

Recommended to the young person seeking to understand more in-depth the current moral and philosophical condition of the post-modern man. At the conclusion of the book you will be left thinking, challenged to better grasp the elusive problems of the existential questions of purpose and meaning and also compelled, as by a call to arms, to be a voice in our society reminding people of the necessity of the absolute!
