Wondering what the past teaches us about the present? Francis Schaeffer's sweeping series on the rise and decline of Western thought and culture surveys history---from the Roman Empire through the 20th century---and offers biblical answers to modern problems. Features an interview with the late Dr. Schaeffer and his wife, Edith. Includes study guide. Set includes 10 episodes on two DVDs with a total running time of approximately 6 hours.

My father tells me that he saw these films in church over 20 years ago, before the invention of video! (Wow - he's old!) Now they are available for home viewing to a whole new generation. After 40 years of study in theology, philosophy, history, and the arts, Dr. Schaeffer shares his knowledge and expertise with us to present his analysis of hte rise and decline of Western thought and culture.

Carrying us through 2,000 years of human history, Dr. Schaeffer proves the importance of God's absolute truth as revealed to us in Christ through the Bible. He delivers his message while walking through the beautiful European countryside or visiting cathedrals, museums, and other historical sites. Theatrical film footage is woven into the narrative to add drama. With the vast amount of reading that has to be done in high school, it isnice to have a break and enjoy watching a film. The presentation of the message is a memorable one. I learned that a civilization that rejects God eventually crumbles from the inside out. The same happens in the lives of individuals, for without Christ man is left with no hope or direction. Man will try to find or put meaning into life but it will never truly satisfy him.

This series includes two DVDs, each featuring five segments, such as the Roman Age, the Reformation, the Scientific Age, and the Age of Personal Peace and Affluence. An interview with Francis and Edith Schaeffer introduces us to the work of L'Abri Fellowship. They share their thoughts about living with suffering and sickness and about recognizing God's leading in our lives.

Two DVDs, 6 hours total. —Sophia
