Description
Reframing the lenses of Christian worldview
- Recognize the limits and failures of Christian worldview education
- Consider a more organic approach to Christian learning and education
- Understand the value of wisdom over rigid frameworks
In Against Worldview: Reimagining Christian Formation as Growth in Wisdom, Simon P. Kennedy challenges the conventions of Christian worldview education and provides a better way.
Although the current concept of Christian worldview appears incontestable, it rests upon shaky philosophical foundations, fails to account for the complexities of how we interact with the world, and may even undermine the curiosity essential for true learning. But rather than shattering the lenses of Christian worldview, Kennedy reframes worldview around wisdom.
A biblical worldview is not downloaded all at once. It is cultivated piece by piece, as we learn about God, his world, and ourselves. Christian education is an organic process of learning to wisely nurture a biblical worldview.
Advance Praise
“In this illuminating and original study, Simon Kennedy demonstrates the inherent limitations of ‘worldview’ as a framework for Christian education. He argues that the biblical concept of ‘wisdom’ provides a richer way of thinking about the difficult, imperfect, communal activity of faithfully apprehending reality in the light of Christ. This is a paradigm-shifting book on the nature of Christian education—by far the best thing I’ve read on the topic.”
