The Essence of the Christian Worldview
()
About this ebook
With the letter to the Colossians, we have an opportunity to find an answer. Paul compares Christianity to another worldview and argues that Christianity is better. This book uses that comparison in order to understand Paul's Christian worldview.
In this book, you will also find answers to some very difficult questions.
1.What is God's ultimate purpose for humanity?
2.Do we just do things because God told us to?
3.Why does Paul tell wives to obey their husbands?
4.Why does Paul tell slaves to obey their masters?
5.Why does God care what we do at all?
6.Why does God command these particular actions?
7.Why would we want to follow God's commands anyway?
8.How does following God's commands actually make us better people?
Christianity is the point at which God acted through Christ to fix what was wrong with creation and bring the whole story to a different conclusion. In this book, you will see the big picture of Christianity and how all the dots connect--from start to finish.
Matt DeLockery
The journey Matt is on is about trying to find out what is true rather than defending what he or anyone else already believes to be true. So far, this has led him to do two things. First, he earned a Ph.D. in New Testament at Radboud University Nijmegen and answered the question, "What is the essence of the Christian worldview from Paul's perspective?" And second, he has started a ministry called "Why Should I Believe" which gives people (like himself) who are looking for answers a place to ask real questions without being attacked for thinking differently.
