Preface:
"This book is based upon lectures given at Wheaton College (Illinois) from September 30 to October 4, 1968. I have not attempted to remove all the marks of the lecture form.
Death in the City, along with The L'Abri Story written by my wife, Edith, should be placed side by side with my two books, The God Who Is There and Escape From Reason. All four books should be read together.
The work of L'Abri has become known for the way it brings historic Christianity into contact with twentieth-century man and his intellectual and cultural questions. But without the spiritual reality set forth in The L'Abri Story or without the constant exegetical and expository base of L'Abri which is partially exhibited in Death in the City, L'Abri cannot be understood. We believe God has used all of these elements as a unity in the whole work. To separate them would destroy it, grieve the Holy Spiriti, and sever the link with modern man.
May God grant us reformationi, revival and a constructive revolution in the orthodox, evangelical church.
Francis A. Schaeffer, Switzerland.
