for their deep compassion for all kinds of people and their tireless efforts at L’Abri, Francis had a rough exterior and was prone at times to coarse behavior and a violent temper. Moreover, he seemed to suffer from a kind of speech dyslexia that led to chronic mispronunciation of basic words. He frequently mispronounced “galaxy” as “galacacy,” and one time at L’Abri gave an entire sermon on the “Jews and the Genitals.” There can be no doubt, however, that Francis Schaeffer was gifted intellectually.
