A Redesign of the Classic Work by Francis A. Schaeffer
Few Christians have had a greater impact on the Christian response to modernism and postmodernism during the last half of the twentieth century than Francis A. Schaeffer. A man with penetrating insight, his works offer a seemingly prophetic perspective of the future that anticipated shifts in culture long before they happened.
In this redesigned edition of Death in the City, Schaeffer offers a simple response to the rejection of biblical principles by modern culture--commitment to God's word alone as the source of truth. Looking at the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, and his lament over the impending destruction of Jerusalem, Schaeffer shows that when the intellectual and spiritual foundation of a society fails, the society itself is destined to crumble. Schaeffer uses this death in the city as a warning siren, encouraging readers to respond to the constantly changing culture, not by hiding away, but by living each aspect of life in supernatural communion with the Lord.
