Worldview Definition
Worldview, the deep level of culture, is the culturally structured set of assumptions (including values and commitments/allegiances) underlying how people perceive and respond to reality.
- Charles H. Kraft

Worldview Definition
A worldview is a commitment, a fundamental orientation of the heart, that can be expressed as a story or in a set of presuppositions (assumptions which may be true, partially true or entirely false) that we hold (consciously or subconsciously, consistently or inconsistently) about the basic constitution of reality, and that provides the foundation on which we live and move and have our being. - James Sire,
The Universe Next Door, 5th edn (IVP 2009), 20.

8 Basic Worldview Questions 1. What is prime reality – the really real?
2. What is the nature of external reality, that is, the world around us?
3. What is a human being?
4. What happens to a person at death?
5. Why is it possible to know anything at all?
6. How do we know what is right and wrong?
7. What is the meaning of human history?
8. What personal, life-orienting core commitments are consistent with this worldview?

Missionary: I’m here to bring you wisdom from Jesus.
Tribal elder: You say you have come to bring us wisdom about this Jesus. Yet you also just told me that you cannot give me the names of your great-grandfathers. How can this be?

Conversion may include a change in beliefs and behavior, but if the worldview is not transformed, in the long run the gospel is subverted and the result is a syncretistic Christo-paganism, which has the form of Christianity, but not its essence. Christianity becomes a new magic and a new, subtler form of idolatry. - Hiebert, Transforming Worldviews, 11

Tim Keller, Center Church:- Danger to think we live in a society
opposite of modernity.- Modernity promotes autonomy of
the individual & personal freedom.
- Modernity rejects traditional authorities (religion, family, community).So: we live in late modernity.

Conversion is “the turning towards Christ of everything that is there already, so that Christ comes into places, thoughts, relationships and world-view in which He has never lived before.”Cited in Craig Ott & Harold Netland, eds, Globalizing theology (Baker 2006), 98.
