To mention Francis Schaeffer these days is a slightly unnerving experience. There are those who will warm to you immediately; young people, on the other hand, tend not to know who you are talking about; and some older Reformed types purse their lips and raise an eyebrow in silent disapproval; or is it pity?
Nonetheless I am glad to be able to publicise a new venture on the L'Abri website - www.labri.org - called the 'L'Abri Ideas library'. They have made available 1000 recorded lectures from over the last 50 years and many are available for free download. Many of the lectures are by Dr Schaeffer himself. There are Bible studies, sermons and lectures on all manner of subjects from a Christian perspective.
Just visit the above website and go to 'Resources'.
Well worth a visit - even if you may not want to dot every 'i' and cross every 't' with all the lecturers.
For Schaeffer aficionados it promises a real treat.
On a personal note, if you want to hear a lecture I gave at the Evangelical Library three years ago on Schaeffer, the EL may still have recordings available. I spoke of my personal encounter with Schaeffer many (!) years ago and his impact on me, and evaluated him as an evangelist, pastor, prophet and communicator.
