From the publisher:
“Everyone has a worldview. A worldview is the lens through which we interpret the cosmos and our lives in it. A worldview answers the big questions of life: What is our nature? What is our world? What is our problem? What is our end? As Anderson, Clark, and Naugle point out, our worldview cannot simply be reduced to a series of rational beliefs. We are creatures of story, and the kinds of stories we tell reveal important things about our worldview. Part of being a thoughtful Christian means being able to understand and express the Christian worldview as well as developing an awareness of the variety of worldviews. An Introduction to Christian Worldview takes you further into answering questions such as the following:
- Why do worldviews matter?
- What characterizes a Christian worldview?
- How can we analyze and describe a worldview?
- What are the most common secular and religious worldviews?
Well organized, clearly written, and featuring aids for learning, An Introduction to Christian Worldview is the essential text for either the classroom or for self-study.

As Christian students bump against other worldviews, it’s inevitable that they will hear opposition to their belief in the resurrection. Are they ready to respond to claims that their belief in the resurrection is irrational, lacking any rational basis whatsoever?
In The Resurrection of Christ: An Apologetic Primer for Students, W. Michael Clark helps students develop a rational defense of the resurrection. Students will learn that although our belief in Christ’s resurrection rests ultimately in God’s authoritative Word, the available historical evidence demonstrates that belief in the resurrection is entirely rational. Not only will students’ faith in Christ and confidence in the teachings of Scriptures be strengthened, but they will be equipped to respond to alternative theories of the resurrection, like the disciples stealing the body, Jesus surviving the crucifixion, or the disciples hallucinating Jesus.
With the use of various aids for learning, like classical art, maps, charts, and review and discussion questions, The Resurrection of Christ is an essential apologetic text for the classroom or for self-study.

Bible Through Art: The King’s Cross and Resurrection
Topics: Christian studies, Bible, Art history, and Art appreciation
Grade: K-6th grade
The Bible Through Art series uses art history and art appreciation as a bridge to help children enjoy the even greater beauty of God and his Word.
With The King’s Cross and Resurrection, parents and teachers can guide their children and students through the study of masterpieces depicting Jesus Christ’s final days, through his cross and resurrection. In this study, children will not only be introduced to some of the great artists like Giotto (c. 1267-1337), Rembrandt (1606-1669), and Henry O. Tanner (1859-1937), but will also grow deeper in their knowledge and appreciation of Christ as they walk through the biblical passages that inspired the masterpieces.
This study can be used at home, in the classroom, or even in self-study for older children (Grades 4-6).
Islam from a Christian Perspective: A Primer for Students
Topics: Islam, World Religions, Christian worldview, missions and evangelism
Grade: 7th-12th grade +
As Christian students prepare to study, work, and minister in our pluralistic world, they are well served by having an understanding of the major world religions that have shaped human history and today’s world events.
Studying Islam can help Christian students not only have a better understanding of world events but more importantly how to share the love of Christ with their Muslim neighbors, friends, and co-workers.
By studying Islamic history, beliefs, and practices and comparing them to the Christian faith, students will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the uniqueness of biblical teaching and their own Christian worldview.
