A Christian Worldview

There is some debate, even among Christians, as to whether or not there exists such a thing as "a Christian worldview."

The concern, I think, is that if a (single) worldview is pointed to as "Christian," it will homogenize the beautiful diversity that exists within the body of Christ.

I, however, tend to think that there is indeed such a thing as a Christian worldview. We might possibly describe it, as follows, by adopting (and adapting) a metaphor of Michael Polanyi's:

A Christian worldview is what emerges when all the noise of reality is heard as the polyphonic symphony of God in Christ.
