| Résumé : |
Not since the Reformation have Christians been as concerned as they are today to develop a biblical view of all of life. The importance of such an outlook cannot be overstated. Writes W. Andrew Hoffecker in the preface, "Underlying all that we think, say, or do are basic assumptions that form what we call a 'world view.' ... Nobody is without such fundamental beliefs, and yet many people go through life unaware of their presuppositions.... The result is that people generally fail to recognize how their world views govern every dimension of their lives. "
This volume focuses on fundamental questions such as: • How do we know that God exists? • How does God relate to His creation? • Is man "the measure of all things"? • Are people basically good and ultimately perfectible? • On what basis can we know what is true? • What is the role of reason, experience, and biblical authority? The authors of this work examine how leading thinkers have addressed these questions throughout Western history and compare their ideas with clearly presented biblical teachings. In so doing, this book unveils the roots of much modern thought and challenges readers to formulate their own understanding upon the bedrock of God's revealed Word. |
