| Summary: | In the 1960s and 1970s, countless Americans journeyed to L'Abri in the Swiss Alps to participate in a unique Christian community where they learned at the feet of Francis Schaffer, the long-haired, goatee-sporting, knicker-wearing guru of modern American evangelicalism. Schaeffer encouraged them to engage with western culture and to bring the arts, philosophy, and literature—essentially all of life—under the lordship of Christ., Schaeffer is the subject of an excellent new biography by Barry Hankins, who argues that Schaeffer's long-term significance is not to be found in his theological or philosophical treatises (most of which are no longer read) but in his effect on the evangelical movement. |
