About this listen
How do we come by our worldviews and philosophies? What impact did Christianity have on the worldviews that are common to Western civilization?
Why You Think the Way You Do traces the development of the worldviews that underpin the Western world. Professor and historian Glenn S. Sunshine demonstrates the decisive impact that the growth of Christianity had in transforming the outlook of pagan Roman culture into one that—based on biblical concepts of humanity and its relationship with God—established virtually all the positive aspects of Western civilization.
The two-pronged assault in our time on the biblically based worldview by postmodern philosophy and the writings of neo-atheists has made it even more crucial that we acknowledge and defend its historical roots.
This authoritative, accessible survey discusses Western worldviews as a continuous narrative rather than as simply a catalogue of ideas.
Why You Think the Way You Do:
- Traces the effects that changes in worldview had on society.
- Helps you understand your own worldview and those of other people.
- Helps you recognize the ways that your worldview, philosophies, beliefs, and presuppositions affect the way you think about everything.

Christian cheer-leading at its worst
Theology dressed as science. This should be called 'Why Christians think you think the way you do'. It's a narrow-minded and paranoid defence of Christianity written to try and 'defend' the church against other evil world views. If you want an academic or unbiased book on 'thinking' the is most definitely not the book for you.
