Essay on A Critical Review of Francis Schaeffer

I agree with the article when it talks about the importance of a Christian worldview. I think this article get the point of a Christian worldview in a diverse way, which is often largely neglected. I have heard from many people how important it is to view everything through the lens of God and the Bible, but they say this in a way that sounds afraid. It is almost like if they try to look at the world through other’s perspectives or let theirs be changed then they will be ruined. I do not agree with that mentality. Christianity is diverse. There are some beliefs that cannot be changed, the nature of Jesus and equally God and equally man is an example. But it is very easy to think that every little thing we believe is set in stone when we are in some very controlled

The book The Upside Down Kingdom by Donald B. Kraybill does an analysis of the bible in a different approach taken by readers. The main point of the book is to help readers understand Gods kingdom in a world that is turned upside down. Kraybill shows how upside down and radical the kingdom was in the first century Palestine and how it is the same in today’s society. In other words Kraybill illustrated the image that people who are at the top of the pyramids, the wealthy and the powerful, will be at the bottom of the pyramid in Gods kingdom if they are not humbled towards the poor and hungry. The book also clarifies the importance of practicing religious principle through the teachings of Christ in relation to the poor and suffering. In

This essay will compare Christianity and the Naturalism worldviews. Christianity is man’s desire to live according to the principles outlined in the Bible. Naturalism on the other hand is rooted in man’s will being the sole purpose of their existence. Both have had long term effects on the world in which we live. They both illustrate the way man treats one another. The question that is asked in both cases is what this relationship means; how it affects the believer, and does it change the way the world is viewed.

In the essay of “The Poison of Subjectivism” by C.S.Lewis, he says “it is useless to compare the moral ideas of one age with those of another: progress and decadence are alike meaningless words.” Our society constantly changing, people’s view follows the change and it also produces action. We can’t be shifting around by what the world views are. We must have a biblical worldview which we can find from the Bible. As I am studying theology it is my responsibility to bring the biblical worldview to those who have a different worldview.

Bush concludes his book by detailing the reason why the advancement worldview must be rejected in light of the biblical worldview. Bush writes the antidote for the effects of the advancement worldview is authentic Christianity. The stability of Christianity is the only answer to the relative and erratic naturalist view.

The Social Gospel is the idea of social problems being looked and fixed with a Christian point of view. The Gospel will always stay the same and we should refer the Social Gospel as living out the Gospel. The goal of the Social Gospel Movement was to tie salvation and good work together. They thought people should live the life of a Jesus Christ. Classes, counseling, job training and libraries were provided by churches to act according to the Social Gospel. The origins and issues of the Social Gospel Movement, how the Social Gospel related to a Progressive Era, the work of Walter Rauschenbusch, and how Social Gospel relates to the Gospel will be covered in this essay.

His main thesis is that the history of modern times is defined by how people have either followed the Judeo Christian worldview or have created ill-fitting replacements for those values. He supports this thesis extensively throughout the book with numerous examples. This is defined by a move away from limited self-government toward moral anarchy, and relativism. This move was encouraged by the ideas of Freud, Einstein, Marx and Nietzsche. This led to an increase in the overall size of government as self-government decreased and the desire for destruction of enemies and despotic power increased.

Regardless of one’s religious views, or lack thereof, it is fair to say that the Bible has its fair share of potential applications to modern society. A premier example comes through the parable of the prodigal son. In this tale, the younger brother sets out to live an independent life only to blow his inheritance on rather impure things, while the older brother remains by the father’s side and does things in ways that would be considered right by most people’s standards. Upon the younger son’s return, the father elects to throw a feast, leaving the older brother baffled at the seemingly unjust scenario. In a newspaper column, David Brooks writes about the wisdom of the father’s actions and the need for application of these tactics into current government strategies. Now, while Brooks’ points on the

I was asked to read “A Christian Manifesto” by Francis A. Schaeffer and what follows is my take on the book. I will share a summary of what I have taken from the book, as well as explain the applications from the knowledge attained from reading the book.

Jesus Christ sought to improve the individual, the component of society, and as result, his teaching ideally aims to advance the well-being of society as a whole. The four Gospels and the book of Acts thoroughly demonstrate the extensive sociological knowledge that was present in Jesus’ teaching. His message facilitates personal reform, rather than change in the social structure alone. Although Jesus establishes the church as a social institution, he does so, only after a number of individuals become his followers.

And by denying freedom the church stifles the mind, they have lost all elements of technological progress. They are utterly lost in all areas of their lives. Which then directs in to the next symbolic character of Prometheus bound
