Session 1 - When Worldviews Collide

Based on the book Making Sense of Your World: A Biblical Worldview by W. Gary Phillips, William E. Brown and John Stonestreet.

Making Sense of Your World offers a basic, accessible introduction to a biblical worldview that covers all aspects of worldview thinking. Part One compares the basic worldviews, Part Two contrasts (and seeks to defend) the biblical worldview with the others, and Part Three constructs a biblical worldview in four key areas. This book is an overview; the Christian thinker is invited to continue his or her study through the recommended readings at the end of each chapter an ongoing task Paul labels the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).
