The Complete Works of Francis A. Schaeffer: A Christian Worldview (5 Volume Set)

There are few writers with a real vision of the state of human affairs in our time. Schaeffer traces religious and secular history in science, music, arts and literature, and shows us where our path left the one God would have us walk. Schaeffer discusses the most difficult subjects like abortion and infanticide in the past and present.Humanism is the religion of the 21st century. Humanism elevates mankind to godlike status. Humans have no power to save themselves or the earth. I challenge anyone to read Schaeffer and not discover new facts and dynamics about the deathspiral of Christianity's relevance in the world.Frances Schaeffer does not offer pablum to the masses and pulls no punches allowing us to feel better about ourselves apart from Jesus Christ. God is there and makes Himself known. Schaeffer is a great tour guide on a literary pilgrimage of faith.Five volume set. Very readable type and of good quality for paperbacks. If you're a serious student of society, history, or the absolute truth of God - add this set to your book shelf.

Deep thinker. Finished my first of the five volume set. Dr. Schaeffer will stretch you but ultimately build your faith in Christianity generally and Jesus Christ specifically.Dr. Schaeffer will help you realize that Christianity is not just "A Choice" but it is the ONLY choice.

He may be somewhat difficult to read for the average reader, but is well worth the time spent digesting what he has to say. He explains what has happened in my lifetime (70 years) to Christianity and Christian morals, why it has happened, and why it seems impossible to communicate with my grandchildren. Then he explains, complete with precautions, how to communicate with the younger generations to try to save them from the hopeless philosophy of humanism & existentialism..

I had to read the whole thing for a reading course I did. Although it was manditory I enjoyed it. If you read all the books, although it is a lot you'll remember a lot because Schaeffer repeats his themes...a lot.But even around 30 years later you'll encounter much that is still relevent today.He's been called a 'popularizer' and I think that can fit. Not sure how well researched and founded all of his historical findings are. Take a look inside, it's worth it.

This series is a must read for any Christian or anyone exploring the Christian faith or anyone puzzled by the question, "How did we get to this point? What's really going on?" Francis Schaeffer's remarkable research and his presentation of the big picture of history is such a good read that you can't put it down. This should be part of everyone's library.

This is listed as a 5-volume set. I received volume 1 out of 5, instead of all 5 volumes. This is especially inappropriate, as the price for this one volume is very close to what it costs for all five volumes. This is NOT what I paid for and I will be returning it.It also came torn and the pages exposed, as shown in the pictures.

Written in the 1980's, Schaeffer shows the direction that culture and religion were headed at that time. As I read through the pages in 2006 it's like viewing a roadmap for how the age in which we now live came to be. This series is a must for any Christian wanting to understand the world as it is now and his relation to it, as well as how Christians should respond to the modern world.

Francis Schaeffer was an insightful Christian thinker and his insights are still quite relevant. I thoroughly enjoyed The Complete Works and highly recommend them.

I very much enjoyed this book

Good teaching.
