Which option is NOT a feature of Evangelical Christian Spirituality according to Tan?

• A. Non-biblical worldview
• B. Bible-centered
• C. Emphasis on spiritual disciplines
• D. Maturation toward Christlikeness

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is what defines Evangelical Christian Spirituality in Tan’s framing. Evangelical spirituality is anchored in Scripture as the ultimate authority, shaping one’s worldview and daily life. It is Bible-centered, with believers deliberately engaging in spiritual disciplines—prayer, Bible study, worship, confession, fasting, and other practices that nurture a growing relationship with God. The aim is maturation toward Christlikeness, reflecting ongoing transformation by the Spirit.

Given that foundation, a non-biblical worldview does not fit Evangelical Christian Spirituality, because it does not place Scripture at the center or use it to define beliefs, values, and practice. The other features—being Bible-centered, emphasizing spiritual disciplines, and pursuing Christlikeness—are exactly the elements that characterize this spirituality.
