Book Review: Think Biblically edited by John MacArthur and Abner Chou

A worldview is basically how a person looks at the world around them. All of us have a worldview of some kind depending on where you live in the world. Christians are ones that need to think and look at the world around them through the lens of the Bible. What this is means is that God's people are to have a Biblical worldview.

John MacArthur and Abner Chou has gathered writings from their fellow teachers at The Master's Seminary to speak on how we can view sin, mental health, creation, and other topics with a Biblical worldview in a book titled, Think Biblically.

The first part of the book deals with the Biblical foundation of forming a Biblical worldview which begins with seeing Scripture as the authority for the believer along being sufficient in life and godliness. Chou writes about Hermeneutics which is interpreting the Bible followed by other writers addressing gaining a Biblical worldview also looking at what the Bible says about sin, creation, having a right relationship with God, and looking at how God sees the nations.

The remainder of the book deals with the Biblical formulations. These chapters look at developing a Biblical worldview in various subjects such as our postmodern world, what it means to be a Christian man or woman, and looking at how we should view science in the light of scripture. There are even chapters on developing a Biblical worldview in mathematics, education, and even enjoying worship and music. 

I am thankful this book was released in a second edition because there is so much that has happened in the world that a book like this needed to be updated. Those who wish to seek assistance in gaining a Biblical worldview, this book will be a valuable resource for you and your church.

I received in this book from Crossway in exchange for an honest review.
