![]() The line that separates the two is ‘the line of despair’. It is, fundamentally, a book with one idea: philosophy from Aquinas onward has resulted in a de-coupling of the human understanding of man, the world and the universe (‘below the line’ in Schaeffer’s terminology) from questions of meaning, purpose and morals in human life (‘above the line’). As I have had some unexpected time on my hands I have just finished my re-reading of The God Who Is There and the two subsequent ones: Escape from Reason and He Is There and He Is Not Silent (see footnote). So, how does it read now? I was interested to see whether the book was still relevant fifty years after it was first published. Given that Schaeffer’s views and the book are part of the founding mythos of Sputnik I thought I should give it another read. ![]() ![]() It’s been over thirty years since I last read Francis Schaeffer’s The God Who Is There. ![]()
