The great evangelical disaster
Book • 1984
Francis Schaeffer's "The Great Evangelical Disaster" is a critique of the state of evangelical Christianity in the mid-20th century.
Schaeffer argues that many evangelicals had become overly focused on personal piety and evangelism, neglecting their responsibility to engage with the broader culture and address societal issues.
He contends that this inward focus had led to a decline in the church's influence and effectiveness.
The book challenges evangelicals to adopt a more holistic approach to faith, integrating their beliefs into all aspects of life.
Schaeffer's work remains relevant today, prompting reflection on the church's role in society.
