Worldview Theory, Whiteness, and the Future of Evangelical Faith

Examining key white evangelical voices from the last century, Jacob Cook deconstructs the concept of "worldviews" based on current conversations in psychology, sociology, critical race studies, and theology. He engages Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s theology of relationality for a constructive alternative to imperial ways of knowing and ordering the world.
