4.9/5 (19940 ratings)

Description:In Worldview Theory, Whiteness, and the Future of Evangelical Faith, Jacob Alan Cook argues that evangelical Christians' embrace of worldview theory has, in effect, compelled them to adopt the world's divisive modes of dealing with difference rather than live out a compelling, faithful alternative. As a popular framework for theology, world-viewing has driven evangelical adherents to narrate human lives (including their own) in ways that warp Christian identity as a personal, social, and theological reality—grounded less in the Bible than an unacknowledged, self-norming "whiteness." Through close studies of key white evangelical leaders who utilized the worldview concept for political engagement and cultural transformation, Cook reveals why worldview theory fails to grasp human complexity and how it artificially limits community in a world only God can truly "view." In between these case studies, he draws from current conversations in psychology, sociology, critical race studies, and other fields to vigorously critique the worldview concept, its use, and its underlying impulse. This book is for those wrestling with the relationship between Christianity and whiteness in America, how the dynamics of whiteness have become transparent and contentious, and where to go from here if one is to follow Jesus.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
