What is a worldview?What lies behind your thoughts about almost everything?For more than thirty years, James W. Sire has grappled with this issue. In his widely used textbook *The Universe Next Door,* first published in 1976, Sire offered a succinct definition of a worldview and catalogued in summary fashion seven basic worldview alternatives. Students, critics, new literature and continued reflection have led him to reexamine and refine his definition of a worldview. This second edition companion volume to *The Universe Next Door* is the fruit of that effort, offering readers his most mature thought on the concept of a worldview, addressing such questions as * What is the history of the concept itself? * What is the first question you should ask in formulating a worldview? * How are worldviews formed existentially as well as intellectually? * Is a worldview primarily an intellectual system, a way of life or a story? * What are the public and private dimensions of a worldview? * What role can worldview thinking play in assessing your own worldview and those of others, especially in light of the pluralism in today's world?
*Naming the Elephant* is an excellent resource for exploring more deeply how and why worldview thinking can aid you in navigating your pluralistic universe.

As """"worldview"""" gains traction as the buzzword of a new generation, I feel that many of us are very late to the conversation. This book is helpful in breaking down the history and core concepts of the idea. I haven't read """"Universe Next Door"""" (of which this book is designed as a companionupdate), but I felt like I didn't need to when reading this book. Certainly has bolstered my understanding and application, especially to present the gospel with the person's pre-established mindset in view.
