really liked it
Read in January, 2011

I love all things 1960's culture. Many of the cultural and philosophical changes that occurred during 1960's still affect Western society today. So, I'm not really sure why I haven't read more of Francis Schaeffer's writings until now. His discussion of 1960's culture, and the surrounding decades, expertly offers theological and cultural commentary. And he does so with a heart tuned towards loving 13not just callously understanding 13his fellow man. The God Who is There is a good book. Having finished it, I now want to re-read, and re-think about many of Schaeffer's arguments. Though this book was written in 1968, it still demands consideration in 2011. I'm particularly interested in Schaeffer's thoughts as they relate to postmodernity (or the seeds of postmodernity), and how his arguments for God remain relevant, or conversely, now seem irrelevant, to the cultural milieu of 2011. Lots to think about I know! But I enjoy it! And I desperately want to understand the average postmodern person in 2011.
