Finding the True Worldview? An Interactive Approach to Ultimate Questions
By Mike Robinson
Worldviews are in dispute: Christian theism vs. modern atheism. Christianity vs. Islam. Truth vs. Eastern ideas. There are powerful and compelling arguments for the existence of the Christian God, but one wouldn’t know it if one only read the works of Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins. They assert numerous fallacious and deceptive arguments as they often erect the frailest of straw-men in order to push them down with the greatest of rhetorical ease. Most world religions are not much better since they generally rest on fideism. James N. Anderson (PhD, University of Edinburgh; assoc. professor of theology & philosophy at Reformed Theological Seminary) helps you interact with essential ideas by presenting probing questions about important worldview concepts and applications. How you answer will lead you to the next concept or subject. Anderson engagingly leads the reader to the discovery that only the Christian worldview supplies coherent and persuasive answers to ultimate questions (by means of a type of “game book” or CYOA). This is a very unique and winsome way to not only keep the reader’s attention, but teach him in a manner that may increase retention of essential truths.You would think that atheism, Islam, finite Godism, and Eastern religions are forceful challengers to Christianity. But Anderson doesn’t merely argue that these views, as amusing as some are, do not reveal the evidential or philosophical actuality, but he guides the reader to this truth. “What’s Your Worldview? An Interactive Approach to Life’s Big Questions” draws the student, step by step, to the reality that the Christian worldview has preeminent rational arguments and worldview cogency on its side. The reader will discover that Christianity categorically provides coherency and makes the most sense–even more, concurrently, it provides the foundation for a truth-filled worldview.A worldview is an overall perspective of life. One sees and defines the world through a basic grid of presuppositions, a worldview. It is the rational network used to evaluate reality. A worldview is a set of beliefs (often unconscious) which affect the way people see and respond to the world. It is a rational paradigm that provides a unified system of analysis. It examines human experience as it provides a set of explanations regarding the problems of existence. Anderson rightly helps the reader understand the important role worldview analysis plays in the development of Christian apologetics as well as the growth of the ordinary person’s thought life.In “What’s Your Worldview? An Interactive Approach to Life’s Big Questions” topics include:* The Truth Question* The God Question* The Freedom Question* The Unity Question* The Resurrection Question* The Moses Question* The Matter Question* The Divinity Question* The Muhammad Question* The Salvation Question* And much moreDifferent worldviews lead to different conceptions of reason, morality, and freedom. The person who goes astray from God’s word falls into many needless troubles and hindrances. One always ends up being a servant to the confines of one’s worldview.An important function of a worldview is that it serves as an explanatory model of the world. A worldview informs a person’s:* Description of the world.* Epistemology (what one can know and how does one know it).* Ethics (what are moral values and what precisely are they).* Eschatology (where humanity and reality is headed).* Objectives (purpose, procedure, and production: what is the purpose of humanity, what should men aim to build, and what course of action should be taken).”What’s Your Worldview?” Anderson tackles a wide range of worldviews and theoretical categories. The reader can interact with dualism, atheism, Islam, monism, deism, finite Godism, Platonism, pantheism, and countless other worldviews.The traveler discovers that a worldview consists of a number of background assumptions as well as ultimate beliefs–those are essential presuppositions used to view human experience. “What’s Your Worldview?” gently helps the reader identify many of these presuppositions that constitute the grid through which one observes the world. Presuppositions stand on that which one considers to be the foundation for truth. One’s presuppositions supply the source of their moral values and therefore the guiding source for their assessments and choices.People tend to view the world in a way skewed to favor the elements essential to their worldview. Studies have demonstrated that people are inclined to think they are more intelligent and sensible than the average person. Obviously some people are engaged in defective reasoning. “What’s Your Worldview?” smoothly challenges one’s reasoning process at its core and ground. People generally view their worldview with foggy glasses (biased presuppositions) as they assume the weak and incoherent features of their worldview without critical inquiry. Anderson allows the reader to use one’s own critical analysis upon their worldview and the worldviews of others. The author fills a vital need within the modern church: worldview studies. “What’s Your Worldview?” is an innovative volume that is reader-friendly and accessible to those with little apologetic or philosophical training. As one digs in, Anderson guides with care, easiness, and appealing straightforwardness–this volume inventively escorts you from a selected worldview to its effects and consequences. Anderson gradually steers you to discover the result of your own ideas, as you either choose the truth or the unpleasant results of an incoherent worldview.This is a book today’s generation urgently needs–an approachable and hands-on resource that helps the reader evaluate the cogency and soundness of the assorted worldviews jostling for their souls. Herein, students as well as ministers, find the solution. Since it is an interactive book, it is great for campus ministries, youth groups, teachers, and the busy pastor. No apologist should miss this book. Endorsed by D.A. Carson, Marvin Olasky, K. Scott Oliphint, and John Frame.————-Review by Mike Robinson author of numerous books including “God’s Not Dead: Many Proofs for the Christian Faith” available on Amazon.

Excellent!
By SLIMJIM
For some time now I wanted to see a work by an apologists from the Presuppositionalists perspective written primarily for non-Christians. It seems most works by Presuppositionalists is to teach believers biblical apologetics. Yet it is also important to directly address unbelievers with Presuppositional apologetics. I think James Anderson does a masterful job of filling this much needed void with his upcoming book What’s Your Worldview? The format of the book makes this work very engaging: For those who are familiar with the children book series “Choose Your Own Adventure,” Dr. Anderson in similar fashion has short chapters that ask various questions and how you answer according to your view will dictate what page you turn to—and also what are the consequences for those ideas. Not all consequences are pretty! In fact, most worldviews Dr. Anderson points out is irrational or unlivable if one tries to go by with it consistently. In this fashion the author is to be commended for making the readers think about what they believe and refute irrational worldviews in a creative and engaging way. It is already wonderful that the book is informative and interactive but Anderson’s humor makes it even better. The author is witty. The book also makes it clear that it is not meant to be the last word on worldviews and I would definitely agree—it is a short book. The author tries hard to avoid unwarranted generalization and interact with the major worldviews and thought in the West today, although I think he does better than that with his awareness and response to some of the worldviews popular in the East. For instance, he talks about Pantheism and also made a good distinction between Pantheism and Panentheism. I suppose the only thing I have to disagree with the book is Anderson’s definition of religion and worldview. It seems to me that the two are quite synonymous, if we understand religion as “ultimate commitment.” But this is a minor point. Overall an excellent work, even though I have a review copy in electronic file I plan to purchase the paperback when it comes out. One should definitely remember the name James Anderson for Lord willing, we will see more quality books and scholarly papers articulating and defending the Christian faith.NOTE: This book was provided to me free by Crossway Publishing and Net Galley without any obligation for a positive review.

A concise worldview primer
By Jason Kanz
As a certified Centurion through the Colson Center for Christian Worldview, I have continued to grow in my interest in how people talk about the issue of worldview. As I began to hear rumblings about James Anderson’s book What’s Your Worldview: An Interactive Approach to Life’s Big Questions (2014), I was very excited.Anderson took a novel approach to this book. Essentially, by posing a series of questions and providing a brief discussion of each, this book was modeled after the popular Choose Your Own Adventure books of several years past. I spent much of my time reading CYOA books, so this was an intriguing approach to a more “academic” book.As an example, the second question, the freedom question, asked “is there any objective truth?” Over a single page, Anderson discussed this question in language that is easily accessible. At the end, he directs the reader to one of two different pages. This leads to a series of questions that, when the reader follows through, leads to the conclusion that a person fits into one of 21 different worldviews, such as Christianity, Panentheism, or Atheistic dualism, to name a few. The reader is then encouraged to explore different avenues to develop a fuller understanding.On the positive side, this was a unique book exploring issues of worldview in a clear, concise manner. I fear that many people will think that it is too “concise”; in other words, the nature of the book limited the author’s ability to explore questions and worldviews in any depth, which Anderson himself admits. His questions were well chosen. His worldview descriptions enlightening. His viewpoint relatively balanced.The only negative I would point out is that although I found the CYOA approach novel at the outset, I came to the point where I found it cumbersome. Perhaps if I had been reading a paper copy rather than digital it would have proven more engaging. In retrospect, I would have preferred a more linear book, something along the lines of Glenn Sunshine’s Portals, which is another excellent, concise volume regarding worldviews.I would happily recommend this book to someone in the beginning stages of worldview exploration, either a believer or not. Readers will probably come away with more questions, but that is probably a positive thing as well. I received this book free from the publisher through the Crossway Publishing Beyond the Page book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
