Escape from Reason



I read an interestingly small volume entitled "Escape from Reason", written by Francis Schaeffer. Schaeffer was a pastor and a renowned theologian of the 20th century. Among his many contributions was the foundation of the L'Abri as a venue for those who are seeking answers to their honest questions. His commitment to historic Christianity and his compassion to his modernist contemporaries led him to write numerous volumes aimed to answer the questions of his age in a distinctively Christian paradigm.

Why is it interesting despite its mere 125 pages? This book was a clear reminder to not let the size of the book fool us for the weight of its content. A confession: I sloughed through this book. Also, this book is the second part of a trilogy consisting of "The God Who is There" (part 1) and "He is There and He is Not Silent" (part 2).
