World Views – Book Review

A Spectator’s Guide To World Views
– Edited by Simon Smart

There are so many world views, some ridiculous, others not so much. Some intersect with Christianity while others are way out of sync. This book examines 10 of the so-called “isms” and gives the reader an understanding of what they are and how it is that they gained such a prominence in western society. Various authors have come together to put this book together, each looking at the separate world view. Outlined is its history, impact, contact & departure from Christianity as well as questions to think about and discuss as a group.

The respective authors have done the hard work so that you don’t have to while reading. For a thorough understanding of each world view there would no doubt be volumes available, but each chapter is enough for a general understanding.
