The sacred and the secular with special reference to Francis Schaeffer's thinkingPotgieter, Raymond Michiel 11 1900 (has links)
Francis Schaeffer presented a Christian world and life-view encompassing the totality of
reality as an alternative to a fragmented view of reality. Refinements of dualism are
examined from within a theological context giving substance to his understanding of
modern world and life-view trends. Dualisms may be traced from the dawn of history of
religion. It was Thomas Aquinas who profoundly influenced Western thought into a
secular compartment through a synthesis of Christian dogma with Aristotelian
presuppositions. The reign of the sacred diminished and a predominantly secular
pathway may be traced through disciplines such as philosophy, arts, science and
theology. This dissertation suggests that a dualistic analysis of reality is limited in its
application. A model is suggested which traces all of reality to its ultimate source, God.
The Fall brought about a dialectic which is found within the totality of a Christian world
and life-view. / Philosophy, Practical & Sytematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology.
