Books to read to start reflecting on worldviews

James Emery White, author of A Mind For God, was on a Stand to Reason podcast, and recommends several books and authors to start 'thinking Christianly', that is, developing good intellectual habits of reflection for engaging current competing worldviews that influence culture.

Some Christian authors and books:
James Emery White, Serious Times
Francis Schaeffer, Escape from Reason
James Sire, The Universe Next Door
Charles Colson, How Now Shall We Live?
C.S. Lewis, Abolition of Man and The Weight of Glory

Some non-Christian authors to stimulate thinking:
Nietzche, to understand postmodernism
Beckett, Camus, Sartre, for understanding existentialism
Some interesting novels: Orwell 1984 and Huxley Brave New World
Darwin (much more than Freud) for understanding naturalism
