After 40 years of intense study and world-wide ministry, Dr. Francis Shaeffer completed his crowning work of scholarship… to present profound truths in simple film language. Dr. Schaeffer's brilliant analysis of the past and predictions for current trends have proven so uncannily accurate that this amazing series still feels contemporary almost three decades after its initial release. Ultimately, Schaeffer concludes that man's only hope is a return to God's Biblical absolute, the truth revealed in Christ through the Scriptures.

Available for the first time on DVD, this documentary spectacular also includes intimate in-depth conversations with Francis and Edith Schaeffer. With the on-disc study guide, this presentation forms a unique course of comprehensive study.

While this series forms an innovative analysis of the past, this outstanding work is more than history. Each episode focuses on a significant era, yet speaks clearly to 21st-century man with answers for modern problems.

"I really enjoyed the overall view of the phases of thinking of western society, Dr Schaeffer is a fountain of knowledge and understanding of the human condition, moving through the phases of culture using a biblical perspective. I could hardly wait to see each session during the days I took to view all the DVDs, the series was very well presented and easy to understand. A good tool for history students too."

"I think, in this relativistic age, it is a must view for the serious Bible student. The series will give the student a better understanding of what the Word of God actually is. This series is a history of both Christian and secular thinking from the first century through the present day. It answers the question as to how we got to where we are today. Not only in our society's thinking, but how Christian thinking has been influenced as well. I found the included study guide lacking and developed my own. I also found that a glossary of terminology Dr Schaeffer use was necessary. One was necessary for a student's better understanding of what was being taught. I developed one. Dr. Schaeffer was a great teacher and had the ability to relay the content of this series so that the average individual could understand it. I highly recommend this series."
