What difference does a worldview make? These eclectic essays from
twenty scholars show how embodying a biblical Christian worldview
helps transform mere existence into fullness of life. Read them to
discover . . . How Genesis answers the four most important human
questions of pre-modern and post-modern times (W. Brouwer); Why the
concept "Christian worldview" fits the unique experience of reality
Christianity affords, despite recent criticisms of the term and
concept (R. Kurka); How worldview competition in the global South
differs from the West (D. Button); How Western civilization lost
its Christian mind and can find it again (M. E. Roberts); How well
the reasons celebrity scholar Bart Ehrman gives for his
"deconversion" stack up (E. Meadors); How higher education has
abandoned its own source by expelling "religion of the heart" (R.
Wenyika & W. Adrian); How an "engineering mindset" helps
evaluate worldviews and how a Christian worldview fares (D.
Halsmer); Christian Humanism as an exodus from the cultural
wasteland for today's youth (R. Williams); The worldview John
Grisham's fiction expresses (J. Han & M. Bagley); How
Intelligent Design strengthens its status as science by using the
concept of "design" in a new way (D. Leonard); In the spirit of
"The Screwtape Letters," a new epistle to Wormwood that praises
compartmentalized Christianity (D. K. Naugle); How an orphaned
Japanese girl experienced "the American dream," God's way (K.
Takeuchi); How words, grammar, and style embody one's worldview,
for good or ill (S. Robbins); What happens to preaching-and the
church-when emotional response to visual stimuli preempts thought
(W. Wilson II); . . . and much more. "That which God has created
and sin has divided Christ is reuniting . . ., and this includes
the divisions generated by our . . . compartmentalizations. Our
gracious, redeeming God is putting Humpty Dumpty back together
again For Christian scholars and teachers, this magnificent truth
is fraught with implications for us . . . personally and
professionally." - David K. Naugle, "Squashing Screwtape: Debunking
Dualism and Restoring Integrity in Christian Educational Thought
and Practice"
