Death in the City"How doth the city sit solitary, that was full of people!" (Lamentations 1:1) "Our attitude must be that of Jeremiah...weeping over Jerusalem, yet in the midst of his tears speaking without mitigating his message of judgment to a people who had had so much yet turned away." In Death in the City Dr. Francis Schaeffer of L'Abri Fellowship in Switzerland sets forth the biblical basis for the critique of culture in his previous books--Escape from Reason and The God Who Is There. Through an exposition of Lamentations, Jeremiah, and the opening chapters of Romans, Dr. Schaeffer exposes the nature of our world and presents the message the church must speak if it is to give real answers to significant men. -Publisher |
