This research delves into Ellul and Chaeffer’s theology and perception on the Christian society in order to describe Christian perspective upon the world as it concentrates on their historical understanding, spirituality, social ethical role and responsibility as Christians deserve greater attention. Jacques Ellul(1912-1994) and Francis A. Schaeffer(1912-1984) were both representative evangelical intellectuals devoted to a faithful Christian living while criticizing contemporary civilization. They believed that Christian faith was still meaningful in modern society and would correct the evil practices of modern society. They were not only the best intellectuals at the times who criticized many ills of the contemporary society based on their Christian faith as well as activists who carried out significant actions. They offered social ethical responsibility for Christians living in a technology- based-world regarding the Bible as the absolute value. By their actions and lives, Ellul and Schaeffer revealed Christian influence to the world and emphasized their role as the ‘light and salt.’ Thus it is possible enough to say that their intellectual heights, passionate faith, influences and challenges to the world set the living standard for Christians in the 21st century.
