Summary: Almost Five Stars
Comment: I picked up this book after seeing F.S. referenced many times in the works of Chuck Colson. For those of you familiar with the apologetic work of Colson, FS runs in the same vein; namely, that Christianity has reasonable foundations and more importantly, it is the worldview most compatible with reality. My main problem with the book is that FS did not spend enough time in the first 2 parts of the book elucidating his propositions, thus the 4 star rating. By the middle of the book I figured out what he was doing.
The Book Itself:
Several of his theses are: postmodern man lives "below the line of despair". Following that, he is forced into a dichotomy of existential despair or Christian Truth. His primary thesis is that of the anithesis: if one thing is true, then its opposite is not true. He then shows how a denial of this has pervaded modern culture, especially that of art.
Final Analysis:
I found the book interesting, even it written too fast. I wished he would have clarified many things early on. Nevertheless, this has moved me to read more of his works
Rating: 5
Summary: Life Changing
Comment: The greatest reward I experienced reading this book was learning to have compassion for those who are living under the 'Line of Despair', people who have no unity of knowledge between the spiritual and the physical. Mr. Schaeffer shows, very cogently, how those living without Jesus are either unable to live in harmony with their philosophy or have to jettison reason in order to have any meaning in their lives.
Rating: 5
Summary: An Amazing Work
Comment: I would say that this book is a classic. Francis Schaeffer doesn't mince any words, this is a potent response to postmodernism. I found the book to be very helpful, especially the diagrams he provides. His descriptions of the "line of despair" and other concepts are very helpful in understanding postmodernism.
This book is just what you need if you want to understand more about worldviews and their relation to apologetics.
I would recommend this book as it is a captivating read and is very informative also.
