Christian Worldview Handbook
The Christian Worldview Handbook features over 100 articles by notable Christian scholars to help Christians better understand the grand narrative and flow of Scripture within the biblical framework from which we are called to view reality and make sense of life and the world. Guided by general editors David S. Dockery and Trevin K. Wax, this handbook is an invaluable resource and study tool that will help you to discuss, defend, and clearly share with others the truth, hope, and practical compatibility of Christianity in everyday life.

Top Highlights
“If we are to be biblical Christians, we must read the Bible in order to read the culture. It’s important that we as a sent people evaluate the -isms of this world in light of God’s unchanging revelation. In other words, we read the Bible first so we will know how to read world news next.” (Page 4)
“2. A Christian worldview matters because it aids our spiritual transformation (Rom 12:2a).” (Page 7)
“Worldviews provide answers to the fundamental questions of life. How did we get here? Why are we here? Who is in control of the world? Where are we going? What has gone wrong with the planet? What is the solution? People may not ask these questions consciously, but the way they answer such things in their own minds will shape the way they live.” (Page 8)
“A worldview is like a contact lens: it’s the way we view the world. I don’t give a lot of thought to my contacts throughout the day. I don’t look at them when they’re in my eyes. I look through them and see the world. Similarly, we look through worldviews and interpret the world around us.” (Page 4)
“that busy us in making mud pies rather than pursuing the abundant life” (Page 12)
