World Magazine's Graduate Recommendations

In the May 3 issue of World Magazine, Marvin Olasky includes Rethinking Worldview in a list of recommended books for graduates, echoing his endorsement of the book when it came out:

A good graduation gift for the smaller pool of college survivors heading to seminary or graduate school is J. Mark Bertrand's (Re)Thinking Worldview: Learning to Think, Live, and Speak in This World (Crossway, 2007). Bertrand's four worldview pillars, his explanation of how to move from consumer to critic to contributor, his discussion of personal unity and diversity within the Trinity, and much besides, make this book worth having and giving.

Book Description

  • Everybody has a worldview, a perspective on life, and sometimes we're forced to re-think. The world can surprise and overwhelm us, and when that happens, it helps to know what's really important in life. Rethinking Worldview explores some essential questions from a Christian perspective, starting with what "worldviews" really are, how they are formed and how they change. It's a chronicle of one man's intellectual journey, written to encourage fellow travelers along the way.
