Full Description
Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is the lens through which we interpret the cosmos and our lives in it. A worldview answers the big questions of life: What is our nature? What is our world? What is our problem? What is our end?
As Anderson, Clark and Naugle point out, our worldview cannot simply be reduced to a series of rational beliefs. We are creatures of story, and the kinds of story we tell reveal important things about our worldview.
Part of being a thoughtful Christian is to understand and express the Christian worldview. It also means developing an awareness of the variety of worldviews.
An Introduction to Christian Worldview explores answers to questions such as
Why do worldviews matter?
What characterises a Christian worldview?
How can we analyse and describe a worldview?
What are the most common secular and religious worldviews?
Well organised, clearly written and featuring aids for learning, An Introduction to Christian Worldview is the essential text for either the classroom or personal study.
'Readily accessible . . . a valuable resource for all Christians who desire a deeper understanding of the conceptual foundations of our faith.'
Steve Wilkens, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics, Azusa Pacific University
