I remember hearing that this was because his works were not scholarly, though I think Gary North has another take on it.
Rush is far more scholarly. The reason he didn't quote Rush, according to Gary North, is ithat quoting Rush would have been ecclesiastical and political suicide for Schaeffer. And he's right. Reformed institutions will look at you with suspicion at best if you quote Rush, and __________ at worst.
