Francis Schaeffer and L'Abri

Francis August Schaeffer (30 January 1912 – 15 May 1984) was an American Evangelical Christian theologian, philosopher, and Presbyterian pastor. He is most famous for his writings and his establishment of the L'Abri community in Switzerland. Opposed to theological modernism, Schaeffer promoted a more historic Protestant faith and a presuppositional approach to Christian apologetics, which he believed would answer the questions of the age. Schaeffer's wife, Edith (Seville) Schaeffer, became a prolific author in her own right. This lesson is fairly cut and dry; Schaeffer combined not just apologetics, but history and art all through the lens of God and by doing this he reached an entire world of liberals as well as conservatives by reminding us that the Arts as well as history speak of Christ in almost every picture of art or page of history. We must realize this and if someone brings us a piece of art that we think is trash we must see this not through our own lens but through Christ. Your requirement here is simply to watch Schaeffer's 10 part documentary on this very concept and answer/submit the 30 questions that follow (these questions are setup so that you must watch the videos to be able to answer them). You may not think so but you will walk away from these 10 - 30 minute episodes a much better equipped Christian and person:

The above video is simply an introduction to Francis Schaeffer in 2 minutes:

Finally the above video series (once you hit play it should play from one part to the next) will conclude our look at viewing the "flow of History" through a biblical lens; this is a must action for those wishing to be truly be a complete Christian as Schaeffer accurately portrays.

Lastly the above video is a required watching simply because too many Christians today neglect the role of Arts and Christianity even though (as Schaeffer has pointed out) this is a crucial piece to the puzzle and has always been. This is just a short 1 hour video but please watch before proceeding to the next lesson.
