Francis A. Schaeffer on 'Jesus'
The God Who Is There, (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1968), p110.
[P]eople in our culture in general are already in the process of being
accustomed to accept nondefined, contentless religious words and
symbols, without any rational or historical control. Such words and
symbols can be filled with the content of the moment. The words Jesus
and Christ are the most ready for the manipulator. The phrase Jesus
Christ has become a contentless banner which can be carried in any
direction for sociological purposes. In other words, because the phrase
Jesus Christ has been separated from true history and the content of
Scripture, it can be used to trigger religiously motivated sociological
actions directly contrary to the teaching of Christ.
