Wonderful, Mind-Opening, and a Little Tedious

Nate Hufstutler, who teaches literature at Maranatha Baptist Bible College, has been reading Rethinking Worldview, and recently posted about the experience on his blog, Literary Redemption. He writes:

Although I have virtually no time to read, I've been reading a wonderful, mind-opening book lately: Rethinking Worldview, by J. Mark Bertrand. It's a little tedious, but this book is really opening my mind and heart in new ways. I am finding it to be life-changing as I've kept at it.

One of Bertrand's ideas that I've taken to heart is the fact that both the Gospel and my personal sanctification are not mere doctrines. They are stories. 

He quotes a relevant passage from the book, then expands on it in interesting ways. The goal of the Literary Redemption blog is one close to my heart, to "provide literary analysis from a Christian perspective." My thanks to Nate for recommending Rethinking Worldview!

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.
