Francis Schaeffer was an American theologian, philosopher, and pastor renowned for his writings and the establishment of the L'Abri community in Switzerland. He was a staunch opponent of theological modernism, advocating for a historic Protestant faith. Schaeffer championed a presuppositional approach to Christian apologetics, believing it held the keys to answering the questions of his age. His work delves into the intersection of faith and culture, emphasizing the need for a reasoned yet spiritual grounding for a Christian worldview.
Francis A. Schaeffer war ein brillianter Denker. So sah er in seinem Buch „Wie können wir denn leben?“ eine antigöttliche Entwicklung voraus und umriss sie klar. In diesem Heft geht es nun um einen Auszug aus seinem Buch „Tod in der Stadt“. Das, was Schaeffer so herausragend macht, ist eben nicht nur sein scharfsinniges Denken, sondern die Fähigkeit, scheinbar komplizierte Sachverhalte einfach und verständlich auszudrücken. Genau das ist ihm in dieser Geschichte so meisterhaft gelungen. All unsere weltanschaulichen Diskussionen lassen sich auf exakt diesen Sachverhalt reduzieren: Es gibt nur zwei Stühle – und die Frage ist, auf welchem der Beiden sitzt du!?

For over thirty years The God Who Is There has been the landmark book that changed the way the church sees the world. In Francis Schaeffer's remarkable analysis, we learn where the clashing ideas about God, science, history and art came from and where they are going. Now this completely retypeset edition includes a new introduction by James W. Sire that places Schaeffer's seminal work in the context of the intellectual turbulence of the early twenty-first century. More than ever, The God Who Is There demonstrates how historic Christianity can fearlessly confront the competing philosophies of the world. The God who has always been there continues to provide the anchor of truth and the power of love to meet the world's deepest problems.
"The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God."Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God.Art and the Bible has been a foundational work for generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor, Schaeffer explains why "the Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars."
Podtitul: Viera, ktorá je reálna
„Drvivá väčšina ľudí je presvedčená, že svet je uzavretým systémom prirodzených príčin a následkov. Toto je charakteristickým znakom súčasného myslenia. ... Naturalizmus môže infiltrovať naše myslenie bez toho, aby sme si to vôbec všimli. Len čo k tomu dôjde, zo životov kresťanov sa začne vytrácať realita. ... Som presvedčený, že jedným z najvážnejších (ak nie najvážnejším) dôvodov straty reality duchovného života je fakt, že hoci na prvý pohľad niečomu veríme, predsa len dávame priestor duchu naturalizmu, ktorý sa nenápadne vkráda do našich myslí.“
Po viac než desiatich rokoch kázania Francis Schaeffer zistil, že on sám zápasí s hlbokými, znepokojujúcimi otázkami.
• Kde je reálny kresťanský život?
• Môže Boh naozaj meniť ľudské životy?
• Môže kresťanstvo zmeniť môj život?
Bol unavený z toho, že ani vo svojom duchovnom živote ani v životoch druhých ľudí nevidel výsledky. Uvedomil si, že o kresťanstve hovorí, ale nežije ho. A tak sa rozhodol začať na začiatku - vrátiť sa k agnosticizmu a preskúmať kresťanskú vieru odznovu. Táto kniha je výsledkom Schaefferovho úprimného hľadania. Pred tridsiatimi rokmi otriasla kresťanským svetom. Dnes je to kniha o porozumení toho, o čom kresťanstvo v skutočnosti je – čo to znamená nasledovať Krista.
