What a fantastic book! I wish I had read it in college. This was my first Francis Schaeffer book. I have read and been a fan of Nancy Pearcey (Author of "Total Truth" and "Saving Leonardo") who studied under Schaeffer. Though this book was written in 1968, the biblical principles Schaeffer covered in the book are relevant to today as we deal with postmodernism (i.e., the death of absolutism) and its ridiculous application in politics, art, morality...in everyday life.

Schaeffer's ideas, apologetics, christian worldview and application of theology are true to God's Word and integral to evangelicalism. No wonder some of my favorite authors refer to his work often. Many Christians seemed to have, at the least, forgotten, or worse, intentionally ignored, that the Biblical worldview is complete, that through his Word, God "has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness,..." (2Pet 1:3). This book reminds us that we can and should take hold of this wonderful, life-giving and hope-building confidence in the God who is there because no other worldview can fundamentally satisfy us. I look forward to reading Schaeffer's other works.
