Wilson's Worldview Wheel

By Ian Clarey

Worldview thinking" is very important, but as Doug Wilson points out, there is more to it than just thinking. For instance, "worldview living," or "worldview doing." Wilson has a series of sermons called "A Worldview Wheel" hosted at the Canon Press site. I've only listened to the first one, but found it very helpful and thought I'd post a link to each of them for your (and my own) listening pleasure.

The series is based upon an illustration that Wilson uses of a wheel (worldview) with an axle (grace of God) and four spokes (catechesis, lifestyle, narrative and symbol). He makes a number of excellent points, including the interelated nature of a worldview (he realises that this is where his wheel illustration breaks down, because spokes aren't normally interelated), how worldview impacts all of our living, the totality of a worldview, and how to communicate your worldview biblically. This stuff is much better than any of the worldview reading/listening I've encountered.
