Description
23 Essays Demonstrate How God's Voice Guides Every Area of Life, from Science and Economics to Marriage and the Arts
What we think shapes who we are. That's why the Bible tells us, "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind" (Romans 12:2a). In a time of differing voices competing for our allegiance, we must learn to "think biblically" so we can distinguish good from evil.
In this collection of essays, John MacArthur and other teachers from the Master's College confront the false worldviews that dominate our postmodern world. The authors provide models for cultivating a biblical mindset on worship, psychology, gender, science, education, history, government, economics, and literature. This second edition includes new chapters on hermeneutics, mental illness, complementarianism, and Christian liberal arts. Written for students as well as teachers and pastors, Think Biblically helps us navigate today's culture with our thoughts and lives centered on Christ.
Biblical and Practical: Edited by John MacArthur and Abner Chou, these theologically profound essays guide readers to discern God's will and obey his word
Comprehensive: Covers a wide range of issues, including psychology, gender, science, education, and economics
Accessible: A great resource for high school and college students, as well as laypeople, pastors, and counselors
