Listen to Francis Schaeffer

The year 2012 is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Francis Schaeffer (1912-1984). It is difficult to think of an evangelical figure in the 20th century who so seriously engaged the philosophies and ideologies of the secular world and set them over against the Christian worldview than Francis Schaeffer.

That said, the new issue of Credo Magazine is here: “Francis Schaeffer at 100.” This issue looks at how Francis Schaeffer has made a monumental impact on how we understand and articulate the Christian faith and life in the world of ideas. Contributors include Bruce Little, William Edgar, Bryan Follis, and Stephen Wellum, and many others.

But perhaps you are wondering if it is possible to listen to Francis Schaeffer for yourself. Indeed, you can! The L’Abri ideas library has made available over 25 pages of audios from Schaeffer. You can look through each page here. For example, on the first page here are the titles of the messages by Schaeffer that are available free of charge:
