Schaeffer (FS) was unique. Apologetically he was able to fuse reason and revelation in a way that was not done. He attracted intellectuals all over the world.
He was part presuppositionalist and part verificationalist. Lewis says, "While the stress on presuppositions sounds like Van Til, the meaning of those statements is more like Carnell's hypothesis, for they are subject to testing by the coherence criterion of truth... Reason has an important role in Schaeffer's approach, but it is not the sole principle apart from revelation." --Testing Christianity's Truth Claims, pp. 298-99)
