with a Postcript coauthored by Michael W. Goheen
In print for two decades and translated into eight languages,
Albert Wolters's classic formulation of an integrated Christian
worldview has been revised and expanded to reach new readers beyond
the generation that has already benefited from this clear, concise
proposal for transcending the false dichotomy between sacred and
secular. Wolters begins by defining the nature and scope of a
worldview, distinguishing it from philosophy and theology. He then
outlines a Reformed analysis of the three basic categories in human
history -- creation, fall, and redemption -- arguing that while the
fall reaches into every corner of the world, Christians are called
to participate in Christ's redemption of all creation. This
Twentieth Anniversary edition features a new concluding chapter,
coauthored with Michael Goheen, that helpfully places the
discussion of worldview in a broader narrative and missional
context.
Praise for the first edition"This is the best statement I have
come across of the 'reformational' Christian worldview. It is
lucidly written, includes a lot of helpful analogies and
illustrations, and is throughout generous in its spirit."
-- Nicholas Wolterstorff, Yale University"Translates the central
insights and categories of the neo-Calvinist tradition into fresh,
nontechnical language and clarifies them with a generous sprinkling
of apt illustrations and images. . . . Highly recommended to all
those desiring a crisp introduction to a Christian worldview in
general or the neo-Calvinist tradition in particular."
-- "Christian Scholar's Review"Outstanding. . . . Deserves a wide
readership not only in a specifically academiccontext among
teachers, preachers, and students, but also among the larger group
of believers who are concerned with issues involving Christian
worldview, theology, and philosophy."
-- "Calvin Theological Journal
