[Biblical Calvinist]

Francis August Schaeffer was a Presbyterian who was a Historic Premillenialist (as opposed to Dispensational Pessimillenialism), attended Westminster Theological Seminary in the early '30's, where he sat under the teaching of Cornelius Van Till. Schaeffer was greatly influenced by Van Till's "Presuppositional Apologetics", as was evidenced by Schaeffers Evangelical methodology.

Schaeffer was Reformed, a man who greatly appreciated Calvin's Institutes...sure; he was a man who had a terrible temper on occasion; simply refecting his fallen nature.. but this was certainly a Godly man in every respect.

I had the honor of meeting Francis and Edith Schaeffer in 1982, at the Christian Booksellers Convention, in Dallas...I talked with him for a few minutes; expressing my appreciation for his influence on my life, helping me to come back to Biblical Christianity.

Francis A. Scheaffer's insights are still remarkably applicable in this Era. Truly a man of God.

I remember reading his book "How shall we then live" about 20 years ago, but it did not strike me as particularly profound. I didn't think of his stuff as theology as much as it was apologetic and practical. That's why I think the term "Last Great Modern Theologian" didn't fit. That's why I asked the question. It seems to me that the Last Great "Theologians" came out of the Reformation era.

Now if he could have solved the Calvin/Arminian dispute through the application of love and logic (which to me it appears to have been his forte), then I think he might be entitled to that monicker. :-)
