The Renaissance and Reformation both introduced freedom, but they took vastly different paths. The Renaissance, rooted in humanism, lacked absolutes and eventually led to moral license. In contrast, the Reformation, standing on Scripture, restored direction, meaning, and moral clarity. While the Renaissance placed man at the center, the Reformation centered on an infinite personal God who had spoken through the Bible.

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.

This is the apologetics and intellectual history series every young Christian should understand.

Francis Schaeffer is perhaps the most influential Christian thinker in the last 100 years and in this book and video series he clearly explains the basics of worldview thinking. Filmed at over 100 locations in eight countries, it is a spectacular presentation of the flow of history, ideas, and cultural analysis from a Christian perspective.

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.

Perfect for homeschool kids!
