If you desire to understand people better, and to com- municate the gospel more effectively in our diversified culture, this book is essential. It will provide a solid foun- dation for buildling your Christian witness on.

As a comprehensive catalogue of all major world views, PERSPECTIVES will help you categorize most belief systems you encounter. By learning to place those belief systems into particular world views, you will be able to understand quickly the perspectives of the people you talk with.

PERSPECTIVES is the only book of its kind in print. There is one chapter on each of the following views: theism, atheism, polytheism, pantheism, panentheism, finite godism, and deism. The views are expounded and then summarized and evaluated. In addition there are helpful diagrams, sketches and a dictionary of unfamiliar terminology.
