Description: Francis Schaeffer (19121984) was probably the single greatest intellectual influence on young evangelicals of the 1960s and 70s. He was cultural critic, popular mentor, political activist, Christian apologist, founder of LAbri, and the author of over twenty books and two important films. It is impossible to understand the intellectual world of contemporary evangelicalism apart from Francis Schaeffer.
