Reading anew these quotes I realised agaion why I loved so much Schaeffer’s early take on culture.

At the same time, I realise now how troubled I am by the sexist language he uses in these quotes. He should have known better, but how many of us did have that sensitivity at the time?

Finally, it is such a pity that in his latest phase, Schaeffer became more of an activist of the Christian Right than a thinker.

Nevertheless, these quotes are worth considering, in spite of it all.
