Review of Think Christianly by Jonathan Morrow

Think Christianly (2011) by Jonathan Morrow is a book for our times. There are other books that address to implications of worldviews on how we act and I have greatly benefited from the works of Francis Schaeffer.

However, this is a modern book that is relevant to the current generation that is immersed in constant secular communication. Morrow asks us to challenge our culture & worldviews and then move on to proactively engage the society around us.

This book comprehensively addresses the contemporary issues at a very readable level and provides practical advice to put ideas into action. I particularly like the chapters on ‘Questions of Faith & Science’, including a section on Science & the Bible.

I heartily endorse Morrow’s book that shows us how to develop and understand our own worldviews, and then go out to the culture with an effective Christian message.

Biblical worldview (Personal Statement)

My view is consistent with the views of the Truth Project on Biblical worldview:

·       A formal worldview based ultimately upon that nature, character, and being of God as it is expressed in His infallible Word [the Bible] and His creation.  It becomes the foundation for a life system that governs every area of existence.

·       Or, a comprehensive conception of the universe and man’s relation to it—“a way of looking at the world.”

In my opinion, a Biblical worldview includes the following:

God created the universe and continues to rule it today. He is omnipotent and omniscient

God exists as a Trinity—a single entity composed of three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ lived a sinless life on earth

Absolute moral truth exists and the Bible   defines these absolute moral truths.

Man exists as a created being with a dual nature (Spirit, Flesh).

·       The important issues of life are spiritual in nature.

Salvation is a gift from God. It cannot be earned through good works
