Rating:  - Worldview grounded in scripture
"Creation Regained:Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview" is not your typical worldview book. It comes at this issue from a particularly Reformational angle. What does that mean? He grounds his thesis in the way of looking at the world rediscovered during the Protestant Reformation: creation, fall, and redemption. When we consider life everything is considered from this biblical viewpoint. What Wolters presets is a great introduction to three points that can radically change the way ... Read More
Rating: - Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview
The author uses scripture and examples to make the case for looking at creation from a reformational perspective to guide Christians in daily living.
The book is easy to understand, and presented in a logical format.
This book would be an excellent resource for small group study in a local church.
Rating: - A terrific approach to biblical worldview
This is a gem of a book. First published in 1985, it has been reissued several times since then, with the newest edition appearing in 2005.

But Wolters reminds us that this is not ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Intro to Worldview Thinking
Creation Regained: Biblical Basics for a Reformational Worldview (143 pp & first published in 85') is a great intro to worldview studies, and in particular Neo-Calvinism (Kuyper et al). It is a great read. I would recommend reading this one, then beelinin' it to Pearcey's 'Total Truth.' Most Christians are ignorant of the fact that Scripture calls us to commitment to Christ in more aspects than our private faith. Christ's Lordship is much more comprehensive than your thirty minutes before work. ... Read More
Rating:  - Good for absolute newbies to Reformational/Kuyperian Thought
I started reading Abraham Kuyper's "Lectures on Calvinism", but for some reason I purchased this book thinking I needed a primer first, even though I was enjoying Kuyper and finding him lucid and stimulating. Wolters does a decent job of laying out the fundamentals of a Reformed view of culture and the sacred/secular distinction (or lack thereof), but those already formally acquainted with this line of thinking from reading Francis Schaeffer, Hans Rookmaker,or any other Neo-Calvinst literature and desire ...
