Episode 58: (RenewRec) Two "Ism" Books
from RenewCast · host Renew Education
Regardless of the grades we teach and Even if the words themselves don't show up in our regular practice, Christian teachers must be aware of the worldviews competing not only for our students' attention, but for our own as well. This not only helps us better connect with and shepherd our students, but it also helps us to properly diagnose inconsistencies in our own practice so we can be more aligned with foundational Christian commitments. Host Noah Brink recommends two books to help Christian school teachers understand the most significant, contemporary worldviews (the "isms). The first of which (*The Universe Next Door* by James W. Sire) does a wonderful job of defining and offering a response to these worldviews, and the second book (*The Best Things in Life* by Peter Kreeft) helps us understand these worldviews through a contemporary dialogue.
