The goal of many evangelical educators is to facilitate biblical thinking and the worldview transformation of their students. Yet, aside from upholding a set of moral behaviors or maintaining positions on issues perceived to be "Christian," the goals and aspirations of most evangelical young people differ little from their unbelieving peers. As George Barna has noted, "We have a generation coming up that . . . isn't looking at Christianity to answer spiritual concerns . . . We either change or we lose them." Worldview as Worship contends that the approach taken by most evangelical educators to the issue of worldview transformation has neglected to address two fundamental components of worldviews. First, that our initial worldviews are not philosophical systems but rather faith dispositions and that worldview transformation cannot simply present the biblical worldview as a more rational or logical system, but must address issues of the heart as well as the mind. Second, unlike philosophies that are individual, worldviews are communal and are learned and transformed within the context of community practice. Appealing to Paul's teaching in Romans 12:1-2, Worldview as Worship approaches the "renewing of your mind" as the result of the believer's presentation of themselves as a "holy sacrifice . . . which is your spiritual service of worship." The book advocates an approach to worldview transformation that focuses on believers as apprentices rather than simply as students--an approach that holds true to the biblical model of discipleship. As a result, worldview transformation works best when the application of faith to the issues of learning and life are modeled by the faith community and where students are given the opportunity to put faith into practice.

In the past, changes in behavior and in belief have been leading indicators for missionaries that Christian conversion had occurred. But these alone--or even together--are insufficient for a gospel understanding of conversion. For effective biblical mission, Paul G. Hiebert argues, we must add a third element: a change in worldview. Here he offers a comprehensive study of worldview--its philosophy, its history, its characteristics, and the means for understanding it. He then provides a detailed analysis of several worldviews that missionaries must engage today, addressing the impact of each on Christianity and mission. A biblical worldview is outlined for comparison. Finally, Hiebert argues for gospel ministry that seeks to transform people's worldviews and offers suggestions for how to do so.

The Apostle Paul urged the church in Rome to "...be transformed by the renewing of your minds" (Rom. 12:2). This call extends to all Christians today, but the question is, what does real transformation look like? This booklet provides essential principles for transforming your perspectives on life, your calling, and on how you engage public life. The journey begins by first believing the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, who was crucified for our sins and raised from the dead-it starts on the inside. As we grow in Jesus, our faith should extend to the outside, to all aspects of our personal and public lives- relationships, marriage, family, church, work, and the world. This booklet can provide tools to help bring the kingdom of God (God's rule and reign) to bear in every sphere of life, both personal and public. Endorsements: "If you are looking for essential life principles for your personal walk and your public life, next to the Bible, you would do well to have this book in your hands, in your mind, and in your heart. Take them in today and live them out tomorrow. This world will be a better place." --Luis Bush, Transform World "As a young lawmaker 30 years ago, a book like this would have really helped me in fashioning public policy to help produce the best results for the people I was elected to serve. I heartily encourage all who see themselves as public servants to read this great work." --Hon. Hal Jones, Hawaii State Legislature (ret.); President, Global Hope (GHNI); President, Geneva Institute (GILPP) "I have witnessed firsthand Art Lindsley's passion to facilitate spiritual transformation among nations. His thoughts on this important subject are well articulated and presented here in this book. It is going to benefit all, especially African churches where transformation is most needed at this time." --Dr. Pastor Bezalem Fisseha, former President and Board Chairman, Emmanuel United Church of Ethiopia "Dr. Art Lindsley presents us with a Judeo-Christian worldview that can help us to reflect on how our life of faith can intersect with our public life. His essays help us to consider the urgent need to apply these values at a global leadership level, for the creation of more just, ethical, and transformational societies. His thinking is relevant and provides guidance for a culture that has lost its moral compass for making correct, biblically based decisions. I highly recommend this booklet that blends both thoughtful academic content and biblical principles." --Ricardo Castillo Medina, President, FRAHMAD (Hispanic World Fraternity of the Assemblies of God) "Dr. Art Lindsley has often shared his insights with our leaders in Latin America. In this book, he affirms that transformation must be holistic. Profound change is not possible if it does not encompass every dimension of life. Dr. Lindsley shows us how to fulfill this challenge in a manner that is both profound and simple. This work provides us with valuable principles for every culture. Latin America celebrates this publication!" --Parrish Jacome Hernandez, General Director, UBLA (Baptist Union of Latin America) "Dr. Art Lindsley has gifted Latin America and the global South with a book that is a call to reflection and a call to action. To be transformational these two must work together. Leaders in every profession and sphere of cultural influence should devour this content....The principles presented in these pages are for all generations because it takes all generations to transform nations. If you are a person with a cause and a passion that is social, moral, and eternal, these values are foundational for your journey and destination." --Ricardo Luna, Executive Director, ConEl (Global Latin Evangelical Fellowship)

C. S. Lewis compared the task of ethical inquiry to sailing a fleet of ships; the primary task is avoiding collisions. When introducing cultural change, such collisions are inevitable. Bruce Bradshaw provides expert instruction for navigating these cultural clashes. Bradshaw contends that lasting change comes only through altering the stories by which people live. The Bible is the metanarrative whose altering theme of redemption forms a transcultural ethical basis. Aspects of God's redemption story can change how local cultures think and behave toward the environment, religions, government, gender identities, economics, science, and technology. However, effective change takes place only in a context of reconciliation, Christian community, and mutual learning. A must read for anyone engaged in or preparing for cross-cultural ministry, relief, or development work. The book is also relevant to students of ethics, philosophy, and theology. Numerous real-life examples illustrate the inevitable tensions that occur when cultures and narratives collide.

John Newport delivers a comprehensive study of the impact of New Age beliefs on contemporary culture - and on Christianity itself - while also offering an effective, biblical antidote to today's worldview crisis. After first surveying the historical development of the New Age worldview, from ancient times through important tendencies in nineteenth-century America to recent Far Eastern influences, Newport explores in depth eleven key areas of the New Age worldview and contrasts each area of belief with the traditional biblical worldview.

When early Christians began to study the Bible, and to write their own history and that of the Jews whom they claimed to supersede, they used scholarly methods invented by the librarians and literary critics of Hellenistic Alexandria. But Origen and Eusebius, two scholars of late Roman Caesarea, did far more. Both produced new kinds of books, in which parallel columns made possible critical comparisons previously unenvisioned, whether between biblical texts or between national histories. Eusebius went even farther, creating new research tools, new forms of history and polemic, and a new kind of library to support both research and book production. Christianity and the Transformation of the Book combines broad-gauged synthesis and close textual analysis to reconstruct the kinds of books and the ways of organizing scholarly inquiry and collaboration among the Christians of Caesarea, on the coast of Roman Palestine. The book explores the dialectical relationship between intellectual history and the history of the book, even as it expands our understanding of early Christian scholarship. Christianity and the Transformation of the Book attends to the social, religious, intellectual, and institutional contexts within which Origen and Eusebius worked, as well as the details of their scholarly practices--practices that, the authors argue, continued to define major sectors of Christian learning for almost two millennia and are, in many ways, still with us today.,
