Francis A. Schaeffer founded the L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland and was the author of many books, including The God Who Is There. Until his death in 1984, he was also a noted speaker with a worldwide ministry. His ministry continues through his books, with over two million copies in print.
This classic book needs to be read by a new generation that may not
know of Schaeffer, and re-read by those who have been influenced by
him.

"'This book, and its companion volumes, accomplished something
startling and necessary: It made intellectual history a vital part
of the evangelical landscape, opening up the worlds particularly of
art and philosophy to a subculture that was suspicious and ignorant
of both,' writes John Stackhouse, professor of theology and culture
at Regent College."
