What is the Christian’s relationship to government, law, and civil disobedience? With political tensions rising, believers are in dire need of clarity regarding their role in upholding truth and morality in society.
In A Christian Manifesto, Francis Schaeffer issues a call to action for Christians to display the power of the truth of the gospel for both the individual and society through consistent teaching and action. Arguing that Christians can change the course of history by returning to biblical truth and by submitting to Christ’s reign over all of life, this classic work offers wisdom for the present and clarity for the future as believers seek to live out their faith in a post-Christian world.

"Schaeffer was right. Today, we need leaders who can show us how to operate . . . in a way that does not neglect or enshrine politics. We need to discern which behaviors by Christians are helpful . . . and which are not."
Marvin Olasky
"When I went to L'Abri many years ago as an agnostic, it was the first time I encountered Christians who engaged with the cultural and intellectual world. A leader distinguished by his integrity and authenticity, Francis Schaeffer shows how the richness of biblical truth illuminates the course of history as well as our individual lives."
Nancy Pearcey, Professor and Scholar in Residence, Houston Christian University; author, Love Thy Body and The Toxic War on Masculinity
"I can think of no one who has had more impact on evangelical theology and social policy in the last three decades than Francis Schaeffer. Dr. Schaeffer had enormous influence on a whole generation of baby-boomer evangelicals, calling us to engagement with society and inspiring us to be the salt and light that Jesus commanded. The culmination of Schaeffer's call for the church to be the church were How Should We Then Live? and A Christian Manifesto. We all owe Dr. Schaeffer an incalculable debt."
Richard Land, President, Southern Evangelical Seminary
"Go to any evangelical Christian gathering . . . and ask twenty people the simple question: 'What single person has most affected your thinking and your worldview?' If Francis Schaeffer doesn't lead the list of answers, and probably by a significant margin, I'd ask for a recount."
