Science, technology and economic growth motivate our society. Each is carried on with little regard for Christian concerns. Brian Walsh and Richard Middleton yearn for change. They long to see Christianity penetrate the structures of society, reforming and remolding our culture. From scholarship in the universities to politics, business and family life, the Christian vision can transform our world. To stimulate such change the authors analyze our troubled age, show us how it got that way and suggest a solution. Their clear presentation of a Christian world view forms the basis of their hope.

An excellent book on developing a Christian worldview,
By Jon Andreas (001@earthlink.net) (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Transforming Vision: Shaping a Christian World View (Paperback)
This book is a penetrating critique of modernism, the prevailing ethos in which we live. It calls Christians to be aware of the presuppositions of the world around us and to renew our minds by seeking after Christlikeness.

This review is from: The Transforming Vision: Shaping a Christian World View (Paperback)
This book was used as a textbook in one of my college classes through Regent University. The class, "Contemporary Problems for Christian Leaders," was very enlightening. The book covers world views in general and Christian world views specifically. As a Christian, my world view was transformed by this book, not in an earth-shaking way, but in a subtle way. Instead of Christianity being separate from "the world," I now see Christianity as redeeming the world. I would highly recommend this book.

Outstanding! an essential Christian Worldview resource,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Transforming Vision: Shaping a Christian World View (Paperback)
Simply an outstanding and essential read for a well rounded study of a Reformed Christian Worldview. I am developing a curriculum in Christian Worldview studies at my church. A member, who is also a Teaching Pastor at our church AND a Professor who teaches Worldview studies at a local Christian college turned me on to this resource along with Creation Regained by Wolters. For me, Transforming Vision filled in a few gaps that Wolters left open in his theology and explanation. We are also using How Should We Then Live by Francis Schaeffer and Total Truth by Nancy Pearcey as part of the curriculum.
