A Redesign of the Classic Work by Francis A. Schaeffer
Few Christians had a greater impact on the Christian response to modernism and postmodernism during the last half of the twentieth century than Francis A. Schaeffer, whose works offered a seemingly prophetic perspective that anticipated shifts in culture long before they happened. In Death in the City, originally written against the backdrop of the 1960s countercultural upheaval, Schaeffer shows that when the intellectual and spiritual foundation of a society fails, the society itself is destined to crumble. The death that follows subtly suffocates truth, meaning, and beauty out of the culture.
Schaeffer offers a simple response to the rejection of biblical principles we see in our day - commitment to God's word as truth. This commitment is often a costly practice, but it is compassion for a world that is lost and dying without the gospel. Death in the City encourages us to respond to the changing culture - not by hiding away, but by living each aspect of life in supernatural communion with the Lord.

**A Redesign of the Classic Work by Francis A. Schaeffer**
Few Christians have had a greater impact on the Christian response to modernism and postmodernism during the last half of the twentieth century than Francis A. Schaeffer. A man with penetrating insight, his works offer a seemingly prophetic perspective of the future that anticipated shifts in culture long before they happened.
In this redesigned edition of *Death in the City*, Schaeffer offers a simple response to the rejection of biblical principles by modern culture-commitment to God's word alone as the source of truth. Looking at the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, and his lament over the impending destruction of Jerusalem, Schaeffer shows that when the intellectual and spiritual foundation of a society fails, the society itself is destined to crumble. Schaeffer uses this death in the city as a warning siren, encouraging readers to respond to the constantly changing culture, not by hiding away, but by living each aspect of life in supernatural communion with the Lord.

Death in the City (Francis A Schaeffer Classic Series)$29.99
A prophetic book based on prophetic books of the bible to survey our post-christian world. \\nWritten in 1969, you would think it has little to say to our 21st century minds. Well it's not true. \\nA lot of what Schaeffer wrote at the time still applies today. This book reads like many of CS Lewis' books. They are timely and prophetic. \\nI really enjoyed this one
