Diskussion:Francis Schaeffer

Zitat Artikel: "Er wurde so zu einem der bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten christlichen Apologeten des 20. Jahrhunderts."

-> Quelle???

-> Neutralität der Darstellung?

Da es eine Reihe von Kritiken gibt, zeigt das er bedeutend genug war. Desweiteren wird ja auch nicht behauptet er sei "der" bedeutendste Apologet. Im übrigen steht er in der ganz normalen Reihe calvinistischer Apologeten.--Martin Schulz 16:18, 5. Jan. 2007 (CET)

Der private Schaeffer

• en:WP:

In Crazy for God, Schaeffer's son Frank presents a portrait of his father that is far more nuanced and multi-dimensional than was suggested by his public persona. He states, for example, that Schaeffer's primary passions in life were not the Bible and theology but rather art and culture. "And what moved him was not theology but beauty".Vorlage:Sfn Schaeffer's son claims he had frequent bouts with depression and a verbally and physically abusive relationship with his wife, Edith. Those in the inner circle at L'Abri challenge Frank's account. Os Guinness, who lived with the Schaeffers and was a close friend of both the younger and elder Schaeffer, described Crazy for God as a "scurrilous caricature" and said, "[N]o one should take Frank's allegations at face value."

Schaeffer's son Frank Schaeffer initially supported his father's ideas and political program, but has since distanced himself from many of those views and has converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church.

• patheos:

Then again. evangelicals are experts at adopting heroes, since their community produces so few with both moral standing and intellectual firepower. They have adopted G. K. Chesterton [...] and my late father, Francis Schaeffer, who, until he was identified with the religious right because he was against legalizing abortion, was better known for running what amounted to a hippie commune in the Swiss alps and his work pointing people to the importance of art, profane “pornographic” art included.
