A Christian Manifesto by Francis A Schaeffer

In A Christian Manifesto, influential evangelical theologian and philosopher Francis A. Schaeffer examines the relationship between Christianity, Western culture, government, law, and individual freedom. Written during a period of significant cultural and political debate, Schaeffer argues that society had moved away from its historic Judeo-Christian foundations toward a humanistic worldview.
 
More than a theological study, the book is Schaeffer's call for Christians to consider how their beliefs should influence their participation in public life. He discusses questions of government authority, morality, education, civil disobedience, and the responsibilities of Christians when religious convictions come into conflict with the state.
 
Published in the early 1980s, A Christian Manifesto also provides a window into an influential strain of American evangelical thought and the debates surrounding Christianity's role in public life.
