Francis Schaeffer...I remember a pastor who said that Schaeffer was the closest thing to the prophet Isiah we had in modern times.

In 1989, a few years after Schaeffer's death, fellow Westminster Seminary student Gary North wrote this of Schaeffer:

"...compared to Hal Lindsey, he was a breath of fresh air. Compared to Robert Schuller, he was a theological life-support system. Compared to Tony Campolo, he was the Apostle Paul."

Please add me to any Francis Schaeffer ping list. He is one of the most influential Christians in my own walk of faith.

Please add me as well.

Thank you for that note from Dr. North. North had some words of criticism for Schaeffer in Appendix D of his book Crossed Fingers, a classic account of the collapse of the Presbyterian Church into liberalism.

But one is allowed to admire another man even while criticizing certain parts.
