What is a worldview? 1. A worldview is the social system from which we discover reality in order to grasp its significance. This includes any religious opinions, principles, values, or philosophical system which provides a methodology to understanding the world and human beings.…
As the body of Christ (the Church) redefined itself again and again throughout history, believers were hard-pressed to embrace and work through the multiple denominations amongst them. Fast-forward centuries and thousands of denominations later, and we find the Church at odds against the idea (or the classification) of evangelicalism. In Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Daniel J. Treier’s Theology and the Mirrors of Scripture: A Mere Evangelical Account, they raise the awareness that the problem of evangelicalism lies in the fact that there are no set doctrines that form a whole theology accepted by those who call themselves evangelicals or even other believers, as one would expect from a popular form of Christian denomination (i.e.: Calvinism, Baptist, Presbyterianism, etc.). The authors then liken Scripture to a mirror in order to illustrate the reflection (connection) between the Triune God…

Growing up in a Christian household God has been very gracious to me and I am extremely thankful for that. I am going to discuss how Romans 1-8 has shaped my biblical worldview in the aspects of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture. The natural world has two different aspects during the first eight verses of Romans. They are the human and spiritual worlds.…
Benchmark - Ethical Dilemmas Ethical dilemmas are complicated situations that people face through their entire lives. Although, some individuals have to face bigger ethical dilemmas than others. How they decide to face these certain dilemmas depends on the particular individual. Specifically, they have to decide for themselves on what is right and what is wrong. Their decision can affect their dilemma and it shows what an individual’s worldview is.…
The world is in chaos and only falling further into its downward spiral. We have people who are rapist and murders and drug addicts. Our economy has fallen apart. We are becoming more and more divided every day. It seems as though everyday a new battle to fight arises.…
I believe you perfectly summed up how as Christians it is our responsibility to follow God first and then to use our biblical worldview in the field of psychology. We may never fully understand how our brains function or exactly how the brain controls behaviors, but we can show others the love of God while helping them. Proverbs 2:6 states “For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding” (New King James Version). As Christians, we need to seek God’s wisdom first, before we help others. Discernment for us is very important before we try to “fix” someone else’s issues that they are encountering.…
Introduction A worldview is based on an individual’s interpretation, response and understanding of the world they live in. As Christians, we approach life based on God’s Word which is the basis for a biblical worldview. “A biblical worldview is based on the infallible Word of God” (Tackett, 2006). The Bible is the doctrine that shapes a Christian’s worldview and belief.…

A worldview is a perception. It is how people see and relate to their surrounding by a series of questions. Everyone has a worldview even if they do not know it. It does not have to include religion, but mine does. I have a Christian worldview.…
Every Trinity Christian School senior for the past few years has had the opportunity to take a worldview class for their senior bible credit. The class is based around a book written by Jeff Myers and David Nobel called Understanding the Times from Summit Ministries. This book offers a look at how the principles of the Christian worldview compares with five major competing worldviews of our day: Islam, Secularism, Marxism, New Spirituality, and Postmodernism. As a senior, I have been able to learn a lot in this class about how to answer many of the hard questions Christians have to face.…
The Christian worldview tells us that humans are sinners, we as humans are the problem of the world. We are responsible for our failures, although we prefer to blame others. (Shuster, 2013 It is God who forgives us of those sins by allowing us to repent if we so chose to do so. Everyone has their view of the world, as humans all have a choice as to how we see the world through the Christian worldview. In this paper, you will see that the Christian worldview gives us as humans the knowledge of the Trinity, understands that we are sinners and allows us to believe in God, understanding that we can have eternal life by following God’s word.…
Coming into this class at the beginning of the semester, I was very confused about the subject of “truth”. Over the past few years, my definition of this word had changed dramatically. I had hoped that taking a deeper look into worldviews would help me create a contrast between what I did and did not believe, and if I could find the truth of Christianity which had been eluding me for so long. In this course, I found that the topics of Classical Christian Theism, Deism, Traditionalism, New Age Philosophy, and Postmodernism had all influenced my own, current understanding. And, through studying these, I realized how I had arrived at my current beliefs, and how to continue my journey for truth.…
