I doubt that there's a seminary in this country that doesn't require its students to read something from Schaeffer, even if they aren't evangelical, and they read him critically. It would be interesting to be in a discussion in a class in one of the more liberal seminaries as students discover that Schaeffer was a lot smarter and more articulate than a lot of their professors and heroes.
It's your turn, Stephen. If you're as intellectual as you claim, you shouldn't be scared of any of Schaeffer's works. Might do you some good. All that "enlightenment" slant and one sided stuff you recommend has probably softened the left side of your brain. You need some real meat to sink your intellectual teeth into. Worthen, Balmer, Noll, Frady, lightweights compared to Schaeffer. He'd chew them up and spit them out and walk away laughing about it.
