Ideal responses to these discussions? Honestly, I think almost all of the worldview objections given in the text are pretty equally legitimate. The two that hit home the most for me were objections two and three. As the second objection (worldview relativizes the gospel) talks about, living in a post-modern world, the gospel so easily becomes just another opinion amidst the noise. In the early church, the gospel had a ready audience, because the claims it made were startlingly different from that of the rest of society at the time. Now, the gospel is easily overlooked because nothing really startles anyone anymore when it comes to worldviews. Similarly, the third objection talks about how worldview can easily become separated from Scriptural truth, which is a huge issue in the church today. Many people believe they are Christian because they go to church every Sunday even if they have never heard the gospel in its totality or have ever opened up the Bible.

I do agree with the authors. I liked the illustration of worldview is like glasses. You see the world through them (and I would also add that you are seen through them), but rarely do you take them off and look at them. We must understand the worldview we are living out and surrounded by, otherwise, we will simply be led blindly. As the text puts it, “ If we refuse to develop and indwell a Christian worldview, we will merely leave ourselves vulnerable to the influence of the worldviews present in the culture that surrounds us.
