Abstract
This article discussed the early thoughts of the American theologian Francis Schaeffer, focusing on his book Escape from Reason (1968). He was an essential intellectual resource for the politicization of American evangelicals in the late 1970s.
Shaeffer contrasted the Protestant Reformation with dichotomy thoughts: Thomas Aquinas, Renaissance humanists, Enlightenments, and existentialists. He criticized the dichotomy for dividing the world into grace/nature, universals/particulars, freedom/nature, and non-rational and non-logical/rational and logical. Besides, Schaeffer believed that leaders of the Reformation did not have a dichotomy because they believed God spoke to grace and nature.
This article also pointed out that Schaeffer persuaded the evangelicals, who stressed the experience of being born-again, to follow the Bible and Christian doctrine.
