Publisher's summary

In He Is There and He Is Not Silent, Francis Schaeffer - philosopher, popular speaker, and founder of L'Abri Fellowship in the Swiss Alps - addresses some of the most perplexing questions to believers and unbelievers alike:

  • Does God Exist?
  • Does it make Sense to believe in God?
  • Can we ever Know God?

    During his life, Francis Schaeffer welcomed questioners and doubters from all walks of life to L'Abri Fellowship. For Schaeffer, Christianity expressed the ultimate truth. That is why he never shunned doubts and questions by honest seekers. He knew the truths in the Bible would always prove themselves when they were thoroughly investigated by an open mind and heart.

    From the intriguing late night discussions at L'Abri came a series of compelling books that every Christian should own, especially this classic, He Is There and He Is Not Silent.

    great phil. defense of Christian presuppositions

    this is my favorite book by Schaeffer that I've listened to thus far. here he reasons with the head, rather than speaking to the heart as in "true spirituality". this is a great book for anyone asking the big epistemological questions, regardless of if they are Christian or not.

    Francis Schaeffer must have seen the future

    I've been through this book a few times, but as we progress in the years what he says about where we will end up if we continue to rebel against our common nature, which is the personal created beginning, becomes more and more the reality and truth. I suggest getting "The Great Evangelical Disaster" to bring more of the big picture into view. sorry for being more cryptic on this but who knows what will and won't get censored on the precipice of this world order change.

    A little over my head

    This is the type of book that I think probably needs to be read two or three times to fully understand it... which is one if the reasons I listened to it rather than reading it the first time. I started to "get it" about halfway through resting it. Schaeffer does an amazing job of expressing the basis of the Christian worldview in philosophical terms. He arrives at the conclusion at the end of the book that God definitely is there, and He is not silent. If you're studying epistemology and are curious and Christianity or are struggling with the philosophical basis of your faith, read this book!

    Great for those interested in philosophy

    A wonderful job showing how the Christian faith not only gives an answer to the great metaphysical, epistemological, and ethical questions but is the only sufficient answer.
