First published in 1981, Francis Schaeffer’s A Christian Manifesto is increasingly relevant today in 2010. The book, penned as a Christian response to the Communist and Humanist Manifestos, describes how the United States is being systematically torn apart by secular humanism and its “material-energy, chance world view.” The second half of the book details what actions the Christian should take in defending one’s self and country.
In explaining civil disobedience, Schaeffer uses Samuel Rutherford’s model of “three appropriate levels of resistance.”
