Purchase options and add-ons

Making Sense of Your World offers a basic, accessible introduction to biblical worldview that covers all of these aspects of world-view thinking. Part One compares the basic worldviews, Part Two contrasts (and seeks to defend) the biblical worldview with the others, and Part Three constructs a biblical worldview in four key areas. This book is an overview; the Christian thinker is invited to continue his or her study through the recommended readings at the end of each chapter an ongoing task Paul labels the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).

Editorial Reviews

Review

The truth is that everyone has a worldview. The tragedy is that many people think and live by their worldview and do not take the time to analyze what it is or even whether it is true. The truth is that a worldview is like colored glasses; it colors everything at which we look. It is a grid through which one views all of life. As such it helps form our thoughts, values, and decisions. The tragedy is that most people do not even know what their worldview is, how they got it, and how important it is in their lives. Making Sense of Your World was not only one of the first on this subject (in its first edition), but it is one of the best. It comes from experts in the field who have decades of experience in teaching worldviews on the college level... --Norman Geisler

He has also lectured internationally in Europe, the former Soviet Union, and South America. Dr. Brown and his wife Lynne are the parents of two children, April and Alex, and they reside in Cedarville, Ohio. W.

In 1985 Dr. Phillips planted a church on Signal Mountain where he served part-time for sixteen years while teaching at Bryan, and in 2001 became its full-time pastor.

    I purchased this book for a class my daughter was taking. She was not overly excited about reading it at first. However, after finishing it, she said it is one of the best books she has ever read. This is a topic she has studied before in other contexts. But she has always struggled to thoroughly understand the topic in the past. She said that the information in this book was clearly organized and presented. She said she finally has a good, clear understanding of this topic. I'm now looking forward to reading it as well.

    This is a very good overview of a Christian worldview. I'm using it in my Colson Fellowship classes this year, and it is thorough. Unlike some of the other reviewers, I don't think it is overly academic at all.

    My only issue with the Kindle edition is the facsimile presentation. I would much prefer to have had a standard Kindle flowing text. Trying to read full page on a phone is really tough.

    I liked this book - it logically went through various worldviews that people hold. Everyone has a worldview - whether they actually articulate it or not. It helps to think about WHY we believe the way we do -- and therefore ACT the way we do.

    The book has a lot in it. I've read it through once - but need to keep reviewing it. I found it insightful.
