The Church at the End of the 20th CenturyInter-Varsity Press, 1970 - 153 Seiten Western culture is dying. Is the Western church dying too? Is it too late for the church to overcome the pressures that threaten its existence? Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer provides some tough-minded answers as he takes a long, hard look at the church at the end of the twentieth century. His analysis takes him into the political arena where he considers the New Left and the Establishment, both of which constitute a threat to freedom. Dr. Schaeffer also sees the church under the pressures of the ecological crisis, the biological bomb, the loss of the concept of truth, the population explosion, and the manipulation of the common man by scientists, artists and mass-media experts. When he turns his attention to the institutional church, Dr. Schaeffer presents a classic analysis of form and freedom, setting forth a solid basis for genuinely biblical Christian communities. Finally, he plots a program of individual as well as institutional reform - reform that will produce revolutionary Christianity. -- cover. |
