Abstract
Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-1984), a Christian intellectual, cultural critic, practical theologian, author, noted speaker, and evangelist, co-founded L’Abri Fellowship in Switzerland a half century ago. The article discusses Schaeffer’s vision of the Christian faith as a way of life and the five core principles informing that vision – realism about Truth, the Christian faith is rational, against rationalistic humanism, Christian worldview thinking, and the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Schaeffer’s own struggle early on with the heart of what it means to be Christian, particularly, the problem of existentially relating the Christian faith to our present life, showing how that faith can take root and bear fruit throughout the whole of life, is the background for discussing his vision that Jesus Christ’s finished work of salvation encompasses the life of faith in its unity: justification, sanctification, and glorification.
