1912-
1984.
American-born
Protestant theologian, founder of L'Abri Fellowship, a
Christian commune/retreat in
Switzerland; his
hippie-like appearance fit well with the young seekers of
The Jesus
Movement. Author of
Art and the Bible,
The God Who is
There, and
A Christian Manifesto. Once apolitical, in the
70s he threw in his lot with the
US "New Right", on
pro-life grounds, adding legitimacy to the politicizing of what would become the "
Moral Majority".
