Can humanism provide a strong foundation for society? Looking at Greek and Roman history, the answer is clear—attempts to build on human reason or finite gods ultimately failed. In contrast, early Christians stood firm in the face of cultural collapse because their foundation was an infinite, personal God. This historical perspective reveals why only a biblical worldview can sustain both individuals and civilizations.
Dr. Francis Schaeffer traces the rise and decline of Western culture from a Christian perspective. Learn how to apply a Christian worldview from a seminal voice in the evangelical church.

The fact that the series is nearly 50 years old makes it even more valuable: many of his predictions have come true with startling accuracy. This lends great credibility to his Biblical and cultural insight. The series works best by using the videos and book together. (You will need to buy the book separately.) For those wanting to take this class as a half credit in history/philosophy, we have added in additional learning materials including quizzes, research topics, original sources, and essay questions.
