Summary

Each of these three books ($lt;I>Developing a Christian Worldview of Science and Evolution, Developing a Christian Worldview of the Problem of Evil,$lt;/I>and $lt;I>Developing a Christian Worldview of the Christian in Today's Culture$lt;/I>) is drawn from Colson's highly successful $lt;I>How Now Shall We Live?$lt;/I>Shorter in length and accessible to readers, the Developing a Christian Worldview series is ideal for small-group study and classroom use. Each chapter begins with pre-reading questions, and each study session is made up of newly written discussion questions, role-playing activities, and challenges to implement key insights. All are designed to help readers grasp Colson's arguments and learn how to use the points effectively with non-Christians.
