to every Christian who wants to be an effective witness in today’s postmodern society. At any rate I am going to go through each of the main beliefs that make up a worldview namely my philosophy of theology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, anthropology, and evil. There are many facets to each of these six beliefs; however I will only deal with each one in relation to the questions that were discussed in class and in Life’s Ultimate Questions by Ronald Nash. My Philosophy of Theology I…

December 9, 2015 Christianity which is founded on the monotheistic approach in solely believing in one desirable God, faces the views of many individuals who either believe, blatantly do not or agnostics who do not even consider the existence of a god to be a relative question. This agnostic approach involves neither approving nor disapproving of his existence, but rather considering Gods existence to be…

Wright’s missional hermeneutic, and he addressed the question: “How can systematic theology be used to reach people cross culturally?” Despite language barriers, different cultures communicate in different ways. Therefore, complexities will obviously arise from ministering in a cross cultural context. The proposed “solution” for this issue is an adjustment from focusing on a systematic theology to biblical theology as a point of view that focuses on the narrative of Christ and God’s mission to…

Collins’s textbook, The Theology of John Wesley: Holy Love and the Shape of Grace, Collins explain John Wesley theology of image of God based on grace, and it is his main thesis of his work in this book. Collins try to make sense of John Wesley’s understanding of grace through image of God in three shapes “natural, political, and moral images” (Collins 51). When theologians reckon with these two senses of grace that are such an integral part of Wesley’s practical theology they often map them…

and practice of a Christian Higher Education institution. A discussion of these essential elements helps to set the backdrop for an explanation of my approach to the integration of faith and teaching, learning, and research in regards to Christian Higher Education, especially to Christian Ministry and Leadership discipline.

I will be focusing mainly on Rober Sokolowski book, The God of Faith and Reason, here he examines the existence of God through understanding God as a creator and looking at Christian perspective of this instead of directing faith and reason as major motives. Moser offers an interesting insight, quite different to Sokolowiski as he looks…
