Francis A. Schaeffer Knihy

Podtitul: Viera, ktorá je reálna „Drvivá väčšina ľudí je presvedčená, že svet je uzavretým systémom prirodzených príčin a následkov. Toto je charakteristickým znakom súčasného myslenia. ... Naturalizmus môže infiltrovať naše myslenie bez toho, aby sme si to vôbec všimli. Len čo k tomu dôjde, zo životov kresťanov sa začne vytrácať realita. ... Som presvedčený, že jedným z najvážnejších (ak nie najvážnejším) dôvodov straty reality duchovného života je fakt, že hoci na prvý pohľad niečomu veríme, predsa len dávame priestor duchu naturalizmu, ktorý sa nenápadne vkráda do našich myslí.“ Po viac než desiatich rokoch kázania Francis Schaeffer zistil, že on sám zápasí s hlbokými, znepokojujúcimi otázkami. • Kde je reálny kresťanský život? • Môže Boh naozaj meniť ľudské životy? • Môže kresťanstvo zmeniť môj život? Bol unavený z toho, že ani vo svojom duchovnom živote ani v životoch druhých ľudí nevidel výsledky. Uvedomil si, že o kresťanstve hovorí, ale nežije ho. A tak sa rozhodol začať na začiatku - vrátiť sa k agnosticizmu a preskúmať kresťanskú vieru odznovu. Táto kniha je výsledkom Schaefferovho úprimného hľadania. Pred tridsiatimi rokmi otriasla kresťanským svetom. Dnes je to kniha o porozumení toho, o čom kresťanstvo v skutočnosti je – čo to znamená nasledovať Krista. Prvé vydanie.

Kniha pozoruhodného amerického filosofa a teologa, která analyzuje historický vývoj filosofie a umění a popisuje postupný odklon od absolutních hodnot ve společnosti. Racionalismus, který odmítl Boží existenci, ve svém důsledku vede k beznaději. Dilema moderního člověka je hledání východiska z této beznaděje.

In these classic sermons, renowned theologian and philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer teaches believers how to rely on the Holy Spirit--not personal effort or status--in matters of service and leadership.

"It is possible to be a Christian without showing the mark, but if we expect non-Christians to know that we are Christians, we must show the mark." Christians have not always presented an inviting picture to the world. Too often we have failed to show the beauty of authentic Christian love. And the world has disregarded Christianity as a result. In our era of global violence and sectarian intolerance, the church needs to hear anew the challenge of this book. Decades ago Francis Schaeffer exhorted, "Love--and the unity it attests to--is the mark Christ gave Christians to wear before the world. Only with this mark may the world know that Christians are indeed Christians and that Jesus was sent by the Father." More than ever, the church needs to respond compassionately to a needy world. More than ever, we need to show the Mark.

In this redesigned edition of Death in the City, Schaeffer looks at the example of the prophet Jeremiah and offers a simple response to the rejection of biblical principles by modern culture--commitment to God's word as truth.

What Happened to the Human Race? challenges readers to think deeply about many of the "anti-God" and "antilife" practices that dominate American society. This book is a call to action, encouraging Christians to take a stand against issues such as abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia.

Experience the captivating writing of Francis Schaeffer as he presents true Christian spirituality as ongoing inward communion with the living God.

As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the twentieth century, Francis Schaeffer long pondered the fate of declining Western culture. In this brilliant book he analyzed the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presented the only viable alternative: living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God's revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible's morals, values, and meaning.

Truth used to be based on reason. No more. What we feel is now the truest source of reality. Despite our obsession with the emotive and the experiential, we still face anxiety, despair, and purposelessness. How did we get here? And where do we find a remedy? In this modern classic, Francis A. Schaeffer traces trends in twentieth-century thought and unpacks how key ideas have shaped our society. Wide-ranging in his analysis, Schaeffer examines philosophy, science, art and popular culture to identify dualism, fragmentation and the decline of reason. Schaeffer's work takes on a newfound relevance today in his prescient anticipation of the contemporary postmodern ethos. His critique demonstrates Christianity's promise for a new century, one in as much need as ever of purpose and hope.

"The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God."Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God.Art and the Bible has been a foundational work for generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor, Schaeffer explains why "the Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars."
