"An important study of a fundamental concept often employed by Christian scholars but not often analyzed in a careful way or with attention to its history."

James W. Sire
"In the past thirty years worldview analysis has become an important way for Christians to understand the world. But perhaps because of the massive research required, we have never had a history of the concept or an analysis of its philosophic roots. David Naugle has put us all in his debt. This excellent study will become a standard reference. "

Albert M. Wolters
"David Naugle's book on worldview is a tour de force. Not only does it give a competent and illuminating survey of the history of the concept and illustrate its widespread contemporary use in a number of academic disciplines, but it also provides an eloquent and theologically well-founded defense of the concept's importance for a culturally engaged Christianity today. The book combines easy readability with an impressive grasp of a wide range of academic disciplines, most notably history, philosophy, and theology. In my view this is now the best book available on a key category of post-Kantian intellectual discourse. It is also an outstanding example of what George Marsden has called 'the outrageous idea of Christian scholarship.' "

"For those interested in the history of ideas, especially philosophical ideas about how and why we view the world as we do, this is a sterling volume. It will certainly become a standard text."

Theological Book Review
"As a philosophical concept, worldview is a relatively late arrival, first formulated by Kant in 1790. In this admirable study Naugle traces the intellectual evolution of the term in order to establish its relevance for any serious Christian engagement with contemporary culture. . . An exciting scholarly work that deserves and will repay careful attention."
