In this issue of Theology for Life Magazine, we’ve been discussing what a biblical worldview is, why it is important, how it is under attack, and what Christians can do about it today. While we understand that we haven’t covered every aspect of this topic, it is our prayer that readers will grow in their understanding of it and be able to stand firm for a biblical worldview.
