Francis Schaeffer

Francis A Schaeffer (1912–1984), a Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor, is most famous for his writings and his establishment of the l'Abri community in Switzerland. Opposed to theological modernism, Schaeffer promoted an orthodox Protestant faith and a presuppositional approach to Christian apologetics, which he believed would answer the questions of the age.

Legacy

Today, more than twenty years after his death, his teachings continue, in the same informal setting, at the Francis Schaeffer Foundation, led by one of his daughters and sons-in-law, and Covenant Theological Seminary has established the Francis Schaeffer Institute in order to train Christians to model Schaeffer by compassionately demonstrating and reasonably defending what they see as the claim of Christ on all of life.
