This accessible introduction to Christian worldview explores how
Christians can live faithfully at the crossroads of Scripture and
postmodern culture.
"Living at the Crossroads" first lays out a brief summary of the
biblical story and the most fundamental beliefs of Scripture. The
book then tells the story of Western culture from the classical
period to postmodernity. Authors Michael Goheen and Craig
Bartholomew next provide an analysis of how Christians live in the
tension that exists at the intersection of the biblical and
cultural stories. They proceed to tease out the implications for
key areas of life, such as education, scholarship, economics,
politics, and church. The result is a deeply thoughtful yet
approachable book that draws on the rich tradition of Reformational
thinking but contextualizes it to a postmodern setting.
"In this book, the authors show students how to recognize and
gradually understand more fully the relevance of the living Word of
God for their living, working, and studying in these complex and
often bewildering times. If I still had university-age children, I
would be very pleased if they received their basic introduction in
academics from these two trustworthy and deeply engaged Christian
educators."--Bob Goudzwaard, professor emeritus, Free University of
Amsterdam
"The concept of 'Christian worldview, ' let alone 'biblical
worldview, ' has more often been invoked than helpfully defined. In
this stimulating, well-informed, and practical sequel to "The Drama
of Scripture," Goheen and Bartholomew once again demonstrate their
remarkable effectiveness at articulating accessibly an
understanding of Christian identity in the West that is both
scripturallygrounded and, notably, shaped by the Reformed
intellectual tradition in its ecumenical context."--David L.
Jeffrey, author of "Houses of the Interpreter: Reading Scripture,
Reading Culture"
