Transforming Worldviews: An Anthropological Understanding Of How People Change

In the past- changes in behavior and in belief have been leading indicators for missionaries that Christian conversion had occurred. But these alone--or even together--are insufficient for a gospel understanding of conversion. For effective biblical mission- Paul G. Hiebert argues- we must add a third element: a change in worldview. Here he offers a comprehensive study of worldview--its philosophy- its history- its characteristics- and the means for understanding it. He then provides a detailed analysis of several worldviews that missionaries must engage today- addressing the impact of each on Christianity and mission. A biblical worldview is outlined for comparison. Finally- Hiebert argues for gospel ministry that seeks to transform people's worldviews and offers suggestions for how to do so.
