Foreword to the First Edition
Foreword to the First Edition
Christians have not always presented a pretty picture to the world. Too often they have failed to show the beauty of love, the beauty of Christ, the holiness of God.
And the world has turned away.
Is there then no way to make the world look again—this time at true Christianity? Must Christians continue to stand with arms folded, going on in their old sweet ways, presenting to men a tarnished image of God—a shattered body of Christ?
Francis A. Schaeffer meets these questions head-on.
This small book was originally intended solely as a part of a longer work—The Church at the End of the 20th Century. But the message of this essay is so significant that we feel it should take its place alongside Escape from Reason, The God Who Is There, Death in the City and The Church at the End of the 20th Century.
To conclude the book the author has chosen “Lament,” an appropriate poem by Evangeline Paterson.
