![]() ![]() Morals become only a word for a sociological framework. If all of life is only mechanism-if that is all there is- then morals really do not count. ![]() The conclusions he drew were these: if man is determined then what is is right. Thus on the basis of the Scriptures, while we do not have exhaustive knowledge, we have true and unified knowledge. It is an important principle to remember, in the contemporary interest in communication and in language study, that the biblical presentation is that, though we do not have exhaustive truth, we have from the Bible what I term "true truth." In this way we know true truth about God, true truth about man and something truly about nature. When nature is made autonomous, it is destructive. Remember as you read these quotes that Schaeffer wrote this in 1968. Many of these are longer because it helps to have context. Here are some of my favorite quotes from Escape from Reason. He saw fifty years ago, what many Christians cannot even see today when our country and to a large degree the church has abandoned rationality (not rationalism) for mysticism and self-determination. ![]() A friend of mine recently read Escape from Reason and then my oldest son just read How Should We Then Live? After hearing some of the conversation about Schaeffer, I decided to pick him up again. It is has been a long time since I read anything by him. Schaeffer's thought guided me through much of my college and post college years. My father introduced me to Francis Schaeffer, a gift for which I am very grateful. ![]()
