Few Christians have had a greater impact during the last half ofthe twentieth century than Dr. Francis A. Schaeffer. A man with aremarkable breadth of cultural interest, with penetrating insightinto modern life, and with a clear sense of spiritual reality,Schaeffer was also a man who cared deeply about people and theirsearch for truth and reality in their lives. With the publication of this Trilogy, Dr. Schaeffer's threefoundational books are available for the first time in one volume.Schaeffer himself considered these three books to be essential toeverything he wrote (twenty-three books in all), and it is hereespecially that we see his ability to understand the deep need ofmodern man for truth, beauty, and meaning in life.> In the first book, The God Who Is There, Schaeffershows how modern thought has abandoned the idea of truth withtragic consequences in every area of culture--from philosophy, toart, to music, to theology, and within culture as a whole. Escape from Reason, the second book, explainsespecially how the disintegration of modern life and culture growsfrom corrupted roots that reach far into the past. In the last book, He Is There and He Is NotSilent, Schaeffer contrasts the silence and despair of modernlife with the Christian answer that God can indeed be known becauseHe is there and He isnot silent. In addition to the convenience of havingSchaeffer's three foundational books in one volume, the Trilogy isespecially valuable in that it uses the text revised and updated bySchaeffer shortly before his death. Why was Schaeffer able to understand and communicate soeffectively to a generation? The best way to know is to find outfirsthand, by reading his essential works as found in this Trilogy.Few who begin this journey will come to the end without havingtheir life profoundly changed.Schaeffer, Francis A. is the author of 'Francis A.
