There is considerable pressure on Christians to restrict the authority they give to Scripture to the realms of the Church, theology, and private morality. This pressure is itself the product of a secular worldview, and it must be combatted by Christians through Scripture. To this end, Albert Wolters clearly sets out the content of a biblical worldview and its meaning for our lives. He appeals to believers to participate in the redemption of creation in Christ.
“Albert Wolters skillfully traces the contours of the Christian worldview in a way that cannot leave the reader indifferent to his cultural responsibilities as a creature of God. I hope that this book will help reform the thinking of many of Jesus' disciples, as it did my thinking. »
– Alex Farley, professor of apologetics, Séminaire Baptiste Évangélique du Québec
“This book is fundamental because it highlights the biblical foundations of a Christian worldview. Its author is uniquely qualified to explain how the theme of creation-fall-redemption is the cornerstone on which our faith and life rest. »
– William Edgar, professor of apologetics, Westminster Theological Seminary
“Short, clear, and deeply rooted in God's Word, this summary of the biblical view of creation, fall, and redemption is one of the best presentations on the subject today. This work will encourage every Christian to fully live their faith in the world that God created, and which he is leading to its glorious restoration. »
– Yannick Imbert, professor of apologetics and Church history, Jean Calvin Faculty
