Recenzii
“The book left me with a greater appreciation for worldview analysis as a diagnostic tool to better understand why I think and act as I do and why others come to different conclusions. … I will also be more careful in how I use the word publicly – or go back to Valk’s book as a reference.” (John Valk, christiancourier.ca, November 17, 2023)

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“In this magnum opus, John Valk presents the fruits of teaching and theorizing on worldviews for more than two decades. This book deals with worldviews as views of life and ways of life using an elaborate and comprehensive conceptual framework. This bridge-building approach, so urgently needed today, can create greater understanding of one’s own worldview and those of others.”
—Siebren Miedema, Professor Emeritus of Educational Foundations and Religious Education, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands
“This book awakens us to recognize that our capacity to understand each other springs from an acknowledgement that everyone has a worldview. John Valk offers a unique framework with engaging thoughts and ideas, guiding the reader to explore the knowledge, insight, and wisdom that lays the ground for a deeper exploration of who we are. This book will speak to you!”
—Mualla Selçuk, Former President of the ReligiousEducation Association and Professor of Religious Education, Ankara University, Turkey
