An Introduction to Christian Worldview

Why do worldviews matter? What characterizes a Christian worldview?

Well organized, clearly written, and featuring aids for learning, this is the essential text for either the classroom or for self-study.




What Is the Christian Worldview?


Book Description

What does Christianity have to do with ordinary life? Is there a biblical perspective on our work or recreation or whatever we do? If so, how can we gain that perspective? Many people seek to have a biblical view of life, yet fail to apply that biblical mindset, or worldview, to all parts of their lives. Ryken reveals the basis of the Christian worldview and describes how it affects one's view of God, creation, the family, work, the arts, and other issues. --From publisher's description.




Christian Worldview


Book Description

For the First Time in English, a Foundational Work of One of the Church's Most Important Theologians As some point in life, we all wonder: Who am I? What is the world, and what is my place within it? Only Christianity offers answers to these questions in a way that meets our truest needs and satisfies our deepest longings. In this important book, translated into English for the first time, Herman Bavinck provides a framework for understanding why the Christian worldview is the only solution to the discord we feel between ourselves, the world, and God.




Living at the Crossroads


Book Description

How can Christians live faithfully at the crossroads of the story of Scripture and postmodern culture? In Living at the Crossroads, authors Michael Goheen and Craig Bartholomew explore this question as they provide a general introduction to Christian worldview. Ideal for both students and lay readers, Living at the Crossroads lays out a brief summary of the biblical story and the most fundamental beliefs of Scripture. The book tells the story of Western culture from the classical period to postmodernity. The authors then provide an analysis of how Christians live in the tension that exists at the intersection of the biblical and cultural stories, exploring the important implications in key areas of life, such as education, scholarship, economics, politics, and church.




Christian Worldview


Book Description

Everything we do, say, and think reflects our fundamental worldview. Whether we realize it or not, basic beliefs about God, man, good and evil, history, and the future inevitably shape how we view and interact with the world. In this accessible student's guide, Phil Ryken, author and current president of Wheaton College, explains the distinguishing marks of a distinctly Christian worldview—exploring the existence of God, the nature of creation, the role of grace, and God's plan for the future. Written for both Christians and non-Christians, this handy resource will help believers develop a cohesive worldview while offering unbelievers a succinct introduction to the foundational tenets of the Christian faith.




Christian Contours


Book Description

What does it mean to think and live Christianly in a world of competing worldviews? Christian Contours answers this question by inviting readers to consider the understanding of reality proposed by the Bible. Though it is easy to divide life into separate compartments (religious and secular, theological and practical), faith invites us to view all of life in the light of that Biblical understanding. Presenting a clear, compelling case for unity in essential Christian tenets, the authors of Christian Contours guide the reader through developing, internalizing, and articulating a biblical worldview. This robust worldview enables the Christian to be a critically-thinking participant in culture and to be a faithful disciple of Christ with both heart and mind.




Christian Worldview & Transformation


Book Description

What is Christian worldview? What are the practical applications and ethical implications of biblical truths? How can Christians influence society? These are the questions that the authors of this volume seek to answer, along with other issues that challenge biblical faith. Through theoretical reflection and suggested practical actions; looking at the early church, the Reformation, and historical experiences of poverty in Brazil; and with a commitment to piety and an integral mission practice, Christian Worldview and Transformation raises proposals and alternatives for a spirituality that can bring changes to society and social relations.
