Hankins argues that much of Schaeffer's return to fundamentalism (especially the more visible aspects like his films and politics) were due to his son Franky's influence.Exploring the Study of Religious Historyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00810633034359617922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8225822678530941462.post-668974535009381582012-05-31T05:54:05.900-07:002012-05-31T05:54:05.900-07:00I became very aware of Francis Schaeffer when I wa...I became very aware of Francis Schaeffer when I was a freshman in college and embarking on studies in philosophy. He was of immense help. I often passed on his books to my profs. Schaeffer's turn to the fundamentalism of Falwell, etc., was a stunner for me. I remember watching the first of his films, How Should We Then Live? I watched the first one and was pretty much done. I grew up with the fundamentalist mindset and can smell it a long way off. Schaeffer had been a part of my way out. Now he was leading the way back in. And now this is what I mostly remember about him. He did not have enough strength to keep those cords cut.don bryanthttp://www.donbryant.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
