Overview

"God's Hand in History Interviews and the L'Abri lectures Hans Rookmaaker: An Open Life, by Laurel Gasque Rookmaaker was a man of many contrasts: provocative and gentle, rough-hewn and refined, playful yet profoundly serious, reserved yet close to many. This volume attempts to capture the person behind the writings and lectures. Especially in close association with his friend Francis Schaeffer and the L'Abri Fellowship, Rookmaaker sought to bring Christian thinking to bear on every tough and thorny issue of the day. A wide range of topics are covered in his L'Abri lectures, from predestination to Genesis 1, from rock and protest to the hermeneutics of art and an inspirational lecture on ""What is reality?"" Colin Duriez edited the lecture series on ""God's Hand in History"", a biblical theme for Rookmaaker as pivotal as the themes of Creation, Fall and Redemption."
