Description
Nancy Pearcey sets forth the elements of a Christian worldview and makes a persuasive case for Christian involvement in society. She offers wisdom and hope to the Christian who wants to have a more significant impact for the cause of Christ. If you feel lost in the fog of today’s cultural confusion, read this book! This resource approaches the topic of worldview in four parts. Part 1 sheds light on the secular/sacred dichotomy that restricts Christianity to the realm of religious truth, creating double minds and fragmented lives. Part 2 zeroes in on Creation, the foundational starting point for any worldview. Part 3 peers into the looking glass of history to ask why evangelicals do not have a strong worldview tradition. Part 4 reminds us that the heart of worldview thinking lies in its practical and personal application. A study guide is in the back of the book for continued discussion for small groups or individual study. 511 pgs, pb. ~Amber
Publisher's Description of Total Truth: Liberating Christianity from its Cultural Captivity
Does God belong in the public arena of politics, business, law, and education? Or is religion a private matter only-personally comforting but publicly irrelevant?
In today's cultural etiquette, it is not considered polite to mix public and private, or sacred and secular. This division is the single most potent force keeping Christianity contained in the private sphere-stripping it of its power to challenge and redeem the whole of culture.
In Total Truth, Nancy Pearcey offers a razor-sharp analysis of the public/private split, explaining how it hamstrings our efforts at both personal and cultural renewal. Ultimately it reflects a division in the concept of truth itself, which functions as a gatekeeper, ruling Christian principles out of bounds in the public arena.
How can we unify our fragmented lives and recover spiritual power? With examples from the lives of real people, past and present, Pearcey teaches readers how to liberate Christianity from its cultural captivity. She walks readers through practical, hands-on steps for crafting a full-orbed Christian worldview.
Finally, she makes a passionate case that Christianity is not just religious truth but truth about total reality. It is total truth.
This new study guide edition is filled with fresh stories, examples, and illustrations. Based on questions and comments raised by readers of the book, it is ideal for individual or group study.
