Schaeffer begins with Thomas Aquinas, who distinguished between the notions of “nature” and “grace” in the 13th century and follows this distinction through theology, philosophy, art, and culture, from the pre-Reformation through the Renaissance and up to the existentialists of the 20th century. 'About this title' may belong to another edition of this title.“These things are never merely theoretical, because men act the way they think.”īuilding upon the ideas that he put forth in The God Who Is There, Francis Schaeffer’s Escape from Reason is a further plea to modern Christians to engage our degenerating culture in honest debate, to understand the thought forms that have insidiously crept into it, and to pit these newfangled worldviews against the unchanging Word of God.

In 2016 Moreland was selected by The Best Schools as one of the '50 most influential living philosophers.' Moreland’s ideas have been covered by both popular religious and non-religious outlets, including the New Scientist, Christianity Today, PBS's 'Closer to Truth,' and WORLD magazine. The founder and director of Eidos Christian Center, he also previously served as a bioethicist for PersonaCare Nursing Homes, Inc. In his distinguished career, Moreland has co-planted three churches, spoken and debated on over 175 college campuses around the country, and served with Campus Crusade for Christ for ten years. He is the author, coauthor, or contributor to over ninety-five books, including Does God Exist?, Universals, The Blackwell Companion to Natural Theology, Consciousness and the Existence of God, Philosophical Foundations for a Christian Worldview, In Search of a Confident Faith, Love Your God With All Your Mind, The God Question, and Debating Christian Theism. Moreland (PhD, University of Southern California) is Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at Talbot School of Theology, Biola University, in La Mirada, California. His ministry continues through his books, with over two million copies in print.

Until his death in 1984, he was also a noted speaker with a worldwide ministry. Schaeffer founded the L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland and was the author of many books, including The God Who Is There.
