WORLDVIEW BIBLE STUDY CO-AUTHORED BY CHUCK EDWARDS and DAVID NOEBEL…
As part of the Worldviews in Focus Series, Thinking Like a Christian examines a Biblical Christian worldview and Countering Culture contrasts a biblical view with that of Secular Humanism, Postmodernism, and New Age religion. Both are 12-week studies with engaging skits, discussions and insights for applying and defending biblical principles in every area of life. Endorsed by Josh McDowell, Chuck Colson, Adrian Rogers, Dr. Norman Geisler, plus other Christian leaders, these curricula trains Christians to love God with their hearts and minds and to influence the culture by thinking and acting out of a biblical worldview. Leader's guidance is included for youth, college students, adults, and home-schooling families. Published by Broadman & Holman. Go to http://www.summit.org/curriculum/group/wif/. This resource was field-tested on universities across the U.S. through the campus ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ.
