Customer Reviews

Good intro to different worldviews

This book is a good introduction to the different worldviews that influence American society. Sproul is a great writer. His books are often easy to read, comprehend and retain. This one is no exception.The first part of the book is a basic explanation of the different philosophical worldviews infuencing America today. This is really the best part of the book. Sproul briefly, but clearly, explains the history behind worldviews like pragmatism, existentialism and so on. He explains how these philosophies gained support and how they manifest themselves today. He follows this with part two, which is his view of the Christian response to these worldviews.Overall the book is good, but don't expect an education on the finer points of existentialism.

What is your worldview?

As always, Sproul here is concise, lively, opinionated and learned. He convincing shows that the reigning *Ism* of modern Western culture is secularism. This is not the same as atheism. Less than ten percent of American claim to have strong doubts about the existence of God. But most all of us live our lives as if God did not exist, or was irrelevent. Sproul examines many of the thoughts and movements that contribute to this secular worldview that so dominates American culture. This is worth a careful read for most anyone who cares about the state of the American heart.

Lifeviews is life challenging, This is a Great Book.

This was one of the first books I read that really opened my eyes to how I looked at things. It was clear, concise, and yet, not the least bit fluffy.
