The Universe Next Door

For more than forty years, The Universe Next Door has set the standard for a clear, readable introduction to worldviews. Using his widely influential model of eight basic worldview questions, James Sire examines prominent worldviews that have shaped the Western world: theism, deism, naturalism, Marxism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, New Age philosophy, postmodernism, Islam. Critiquing each worldview within its own frame of reference and in comparison to others, Sire encourages readers to wrestle with life's biggest questions and examine the core beliefs and commitments on which they are building their lives. This sixth edition, updated by Sire's longtime editor Jim Hoover, features new explanatory sidebars, helpful charts, and a chapter on challenges to a Christian worldview in the twenty-first century. New discussion questions also help readers reflect more deeply on each chapter. – Back cover.
