By exploring five common Christian perspectives ("theological
worlds"), this volume helps readers understand the basis of their
own Christian attitudes, identify the sources of their confusions
about life and the church, and come to a deeper appreciation of the
assumptions and motivations of others.
Author W. Paul Jones demonstrates that each of the five
"theological worlds" has a legitimate basis in both Scripture and
tradition. He explores why the "citizens" of each world have great
difficulty understanding and accepting the legitimacy of other
worlds, and why people of goodwill often misconstrue the words and
intentions of others.
Theological Worlds offers thoughtful insight to all Christians
who want to understand and deal effectively with other human
beings. Christian educators will appreciate the references to
literature--books, plays, songs, poetry--which illustrate the
characteristics of residents of the five worlds and point toward
ways to achieve nurturing experiences for students and
congregations. Preachers will find the volume helpful as a means of
crafting sermons that speak to the diversity of experience among
their church members.
