Description:
Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is the lens through which we interpret the cosmos and our lives in it. A worldview answers the big questions of life: What is our nature? What is our world? What is our problem? What is our end? As Anderson, Clark and Naugle point out, our worldview cannot simply be reduced to a series of rational beliefs. We are creatures of story, and the kinds of story we tell reveal important things about our worldview. Part of being a thoughtful Christian is to understand and express the Christian worldview. It also means developing an awareness of the variety of worldviews. An Introduction to Christian Worldview explores answers to questions such as Why do worldviews matter? What characterises a Christian worldview? How can we analyse and describe a worldview? What are the most common secular and religious worldviews? Well organised, clearly written and featuring aids for learning, An Introduction to Christian Worldview is the essential text for either the classroom or personal study. ‘Readily accessible . . . a valuable resource for all Christians who desire a deeper understanding of the conceptual foundations of our faith.’ Steve Wilkens, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics, Azusa Pacific University
《An Introduction to Christian Worldview》基督教世界观导论
每个人都有自己的世界观——它就像一副眼镜,影响我们如何理解世界、人生以及生命中的重大问题:人是什么?世界是什么?人类的问题在哪里?人生最终的目的是什么?
本书系统介绍基督教世界观,帮助读者认识圣经信仰如何回答这些根本问题,同时学习分析和理解其他不同的世俗及宗教世界观。
书中探讨:为什么世界观如此重要?基督教世界观有哪些核心特征?如何分析一个人的世界观?当今常见的世俗与宗教世界观有哪些?作者也指出,世界观不仅由理性的信念组成,我们所相信和讲述的“人生故事”同样反映我们如何理解世界。
全书结构清楚,并附有学习辅助内容,适合课堂教学、个人学习及较成熟的青少年(11-12年级)和成人,帮助基督徒更深入理解自己的信仰,并培养辨识不同世界观的能力。
