By the second time I read it I was having some serious doubts and I wanted to see if this book would help. It didn't.  personman | Nov 18, 2009 |  Schaeffer teaches the theology of a Reasonable God and believes that Christianity is reasonable. Most of us in the throes of youthful idealism can hold onto that idea that a True Religion would also be "reasonable". Schaeffer develops the law of non-contradiction ("A statement cannot be both true and false in the same way at the same time.") As an apex historian, Schaeffer discusses the gradual decline of belief in Reason in the areas of philosophy, art and music, as well as in the general culture and in theology. By the 2d half of the 19th century, we began to lose a belief in "mutually exclusive truths"; we now live with contradictions.

(  ) maryh10000 | Sep 9, 2007 | glendac | Aug 29, 2006 | A classic work in 'existentialist/pragmatic' apologetics, and definitely Schaeffer's best book (in my view). I've found that the 'big, existential' questions that Schaeffer asks in this book really resonate with college-aged students. Recommended for those working with campus ministry.
