Colin Duriez, Francis Schaeffer: An Authentic Life (Nottingham: IVP, 2008), 240pp., ISBN 9781844743100, £12.99.
An illuminating and authoritative biography of one of the most significant figures in 20th-century evangelicalism, covering his early ministry as a pastor and children’s evangelist, his passion for mission, his commitment to truth, his struggles with faith, his love of art, his engagement with culture, his founding and shaping of L’Abri, and his political activism. Colin Duriez, who studied under Schaeffer and interviewed him, emphasises how Schaeffer lived what he believed and taught – hence, ‘an authentic life’.
