Show Notes

When I got serious about Christian discipleship in the early nineties, Christian worldview was in the air.  The menace of secular humanism loomed large, and when I enrolled at Milligan College (now Milligan University), a Christian liberal arts college, several people in my life were quite pleased precisely because there, I might emerge with something called a Christian worldview and do battle against something called secular humanism.  That was more than thirty years ago, and Simon P. Kennedy has some questions for the folks who promoted that vision of Christian education.  His recent book Against Worldview from Lexham Press proposes not an abolition of Christian worldview but new postulates, namely wisdom and cultivation, as alternatives to the old war-metaphors.  Christian Humanist Profiles is glad to welcome Dr. Kennedy to the show.
