How We Frame Faith Makes All the Difference in the World

Abstract

Master narratives and worldviews are foundational not just to how we think, but also to meaning, purpose, and intuiting how we are to behave. Christian formation at its best is about being socialized to adopt both Jesus’ alternative worldview and his behaviors of love and service. The Western church’s difficulty with Christian formation is related to a prevailing master narrative of faith that needs reframing in the face of enlightenment thinking, science, markets, and progress.
