| Résumé : |
Those looking for a compendium of the major world views, written from a Christian perspective, need look no further. Comprehensive and readable, well organized and up to date, Worlds Apart stands alone.
After introducing the meaning and function of a world view, the authors explore the seven major world views of our day—theism, atheism, pantheism, panentheism, deism, finite godism, and polytheism. They delineate the varieties within each view, analyze the beliefs of its major representatives, and outline and evaluate its basic tenets. The authors present the seven world views in such a way that one can compare and contrast these views. “It is our hope,’’ they write, “that [readers] will carefully consider all the options and then intelligently decide, even if it means discarding the world view [they] now have.’’ In this revised edition the authors have updated the text and bibliography, rewritten several sections, and included suggested readings for each world view. Like the original edition, published in 1984, this volume contains a glossary of terms and an index of subjects and names. |
