Francis A. Schaeffer Papers Exhibit

On November 8, 2010, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary faculty, staff, and students, as well the general public gathered at the L. Russ Bush Center for Faith and Culture at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary to view a representative selection of the recently received Schaeffer papers housed at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary under the directorship of Dr. Bruce Little, director of the Center.  Many expressed interest in viewing pieces from the collection and whereas it will be a considerable time before the entire collection is processed and digitized, the Center's Director wanted to provide the opportunity for the public to view a sampling of what is in this collection.  The exhibit featured over 60 pieces from the Schaeffer collection including items such as Francis Schaeffer's personal Bible, his books translated into different languages, his notes for books, some of his sermon notes, scripts from several of his films including How Should We Then Live?, a 16 mm canister from the Great Evangelical Disaster, as well as a sampling of his correspondence with a variety of individuals such as John Stott, John Warwick Montgomery, Bill Bright, and Anita Bryant.
