Think you know
all you need
to about worldviews?
So did author J. Mark Bertrand, until
he began to write on the subject.
Bertrand reflects, “As much as
I love the worldview concept, and as much good as I believe it has
done, I am convinced that the time has come to rethink our assumptions
about worldviews. We need to take a second look and make sure that,
in adopting the concept so widely and making it such a staple of
evangelical discourse, we have not gutted it.”
Rethinking Worldview is the outgrowth
of a conviction that worldview, wisdom, and witness are organically
related. Bertrand explores these interrelationships as they impact
the way that Christians think, live, and speak in this world. He
suggest that where witness is lacking, we may find a lack in worldview
and wisdom as well. If we are to “redeem the time,” we cannot afford
this deficit.
Rethinking Worldview will provide new
fuel for those steeped in worldview thinking, and it will kindle
a fire in the hearts and minds of newcomers. He writes, “It’s a chronicle
of one man’s intellectual journey, written to encourage fellow travelers
along the way.” Many travelers will find themselves in the pages
of this book, which blends personal essay, cultural criticism, and
how-to advice in a manner that is as enjoyable as it is informative.
If
you think that you know all you need to know about worldview, it's
time to rethink.
