How Should We Then Live?: The Rise and Decline of Western Thought and Culture
L'Abri 50th Anniversary Edition
By Francis A. Schaeffer, Foreword by Lane T. Dennis
As one of the foremost evangelical thinkers of the twentieth century, Francis Schaeffer long pondered the fate of declining Western culture. In this brilliant book he analyzed the reasons for modern society's state of affairs and presented the only viable alternative: living by the Christian ethic, acceptance of God's revelation, and total affirmation of the Bible's morals, values, and meaning.
Author:
Francis A. Schaeffer (1912–1984) authored more than twenty books, which have been translated into several languages and have sold millions globally. He and his wife, Edith, founded the L’Abri Fellowship international study and discipleship centers. Recognized internationally for his work in Christianity and culture, Schaeffer passed away in 1984 but his influence and legacy continue worldwide.

“This is a modern-day classic, one of Schaeffer’s books that awakened me to how biblical truth affects all of life.”
Charles Colson, Founder, Prison Fellowship and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview
“There are books that quickly go out of print and there are books for the ages. How Should We Then Live? is one for the ages. Any serious thinker must read it again and again.”
Cal Thomas, Syndicated Columnist, Host, After Hours, Fox News Channel
“How Should We Then Live? was produced by a genius who cared about the battle of ideas. It’s also the book I still recommend to students for a quick overview of ‘the rise and decline of western thought and culture.’ Schaeffer brilliantly takes readers from ancient times through the Renaissance, Reformation, and Enlightenment, then discusses the breakdown in philosophy and science and moves on to art, music, literature, film, and much else besides.”
Marvin Olasky
“Go to any evangelical Christian gathering and ask twenty people the simple question: ‘What single person has most affected your thinking and your worldview?’ If Francis Schaeffer doesn't lead the list of answers, and probably by a significant margin, I‘d ask for a recount.”
Joel Belz, Founder, WORLD magazine
