Publisher's Synopsis
"I once was blind, but now I see" is the glad confession of the Christian's heart. However, what is it that a Christian now sees that so transforms his life? It is the Christian worldview. This is not an abstract philosophy so much as biblical doctrine for life. The Word of God establishes God-centered thinking, engages faithful living, and energizes ardent feeling for the kingdom of Christ in this world and the world to come. In this volume, several pastors and theologians band together to explore aspects of the Christian worldview such as God's Trinity, supremacy, and loving sovereignty over all of life; the Christian's identity in Christ, sexuality, and sufferings; and the Christian life as both earthly mission and heavenly pilgrimage.
Contributors include Derek Thomas, Michael Barrett, Joel Beeke, Paul Smalley, Mark Kelderman, Brian Cosby, Charles Barrett, and Gerald Bilkes.
