Crossway Books & Bibles How Should We Then Live? L'Abri 50th Anniversary Edition

Schaeffer's brilliant analysis of Western civilization from ancient Rome to the Atomic Age examines the breakdown of modern society in philosophy, theology, the arts, and morals. The only viable alternative, he says, is living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God's revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible's values and meaning. A timeless classic. 288 pages, softcover from Crossway Books.

Due to the years since publication, some of the comments are a bit dated. However, the overall overview of Western culture and the effects of Christianity are still valid, though somewhat frightening.

Absolutely profound. Dr. Schaeffer's synthesis of the history of western thought and culture is clear, concise and offers answers to the questions every Christian needs to be asking about the world and the culture we live in. Understanding the steps that lead to where we are today allows us to understand our current situations and what to expect as well as how to go about changing the world we live in. Schaeffer's predictions back in the 1960's about where the world was headed are frighteningly prophetic of our current spiritual and political predicament in America and Western Europe.
