Description:
If customs, language, clothing, and food are like the leaves of a tree, then the underlying worldview is like the trunk and branches. Until we grasp our own worldview — and we all have one — then we cannot hope to understand other people's. David Burnett explains:
The major contemporary worldviews including secular, traditional, Hindu, Buddhist, Chinese, and Islamic.
The biblical worldview
Our own basic assumptions
The way these radically different worldviews interact
Basic principles in communicating the Gospel to those with other perspectives.
Dr. Burnett asks fundamental questions of each worldview. What is "real"? What is "human"? What is "truth"? His wealth of research and many examples make Clash of Worlds a delight to read.
This new edition is fully revised with updated references and statistics, and an important extra chapter on the Buddhist worldview.
