Book Synopsis
The goal of this book is to help the reader to gain a solid understanding of the Christian and other worldviews and to understand why the Christian view of the world is, by far, with no close second, the superior view of reality. All other worldviews deceive us, send us in unhelpful directions, and do not make us the kind of people we want to be. To do this, he will first establish what a worldview is and how our view of the world has such a controlling influence on our lives. John does his best to define what a "good" worldview should look like. He then analyzes the principal worldviews we find among humanity today from the perspective of this idea of a "good" worldview. John Oakes closely examines the following worldview outlooks:
- Christian Theism
- Naturalism/Atheism
- Postmodernism
- Animism/Polytheism/Dualism
- Pantheism/Eastern Religion/New Age
- Deism
- Nihilism, Existentialism, and Marxism
