About Instructor

Francis Schaeffer

Francis A. Schaeffer was an American Evangelical theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor. He 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. A number of scholars credit his ideas with helping spark the rise of the Christian Right in the United States.
