read the triology, then his entire books, then read some of the books written about him by His students. In my opinion he is over rated by many fundamentalists but he provided spiritual guidance to a generation of Christians who lived during the 60's and struggled during that time. We can all thank God for the influence that He had on persons like Albert Mohler, Jack Kemp, C. Evertt Koop, Lignon Duncan, and inspiring local churches to fight liberalism in their denominations (as in the case for the southern baptists) or in the case of the Presbyterians start a new one. He was a figure many of them looked to as standing strong in a hostile world. And in my opinion that is the legacy of Schaeffer. He was not the world's greatest intellectual. He was no original philosopher nor a Jonathan Edwards, but he knew enough and had the gifts to stand up to a hostile world and stand upon the word of God as his only foundation.
