A Summary Of The Foundations Of The Biblical Worldview
In order to explain the world and how we are to engage in it and with it, a biblical worldview begins with descriptions of God's character and human nature. The understanding these foundational elements provide impacts how Christians view not only religion but also politics, science, philosophy, criminology, psychology and many other endeavors. In order to be truly fulfilled and well adjusted, we must grasp what scripture teachings about who God is, who humans are and pinpoint the way we are to interact with one another. #worldview #biblicalworldview #bibleandculture #bibleandpolitics

What Is A Worldview? What Is A Biblical Worldview?
A biblical worldview is more than just a list of what God considers right and wrong. Though it incudes a moral framework, it is much more comprehensive. A biblical worldview answers all the grand questions of human existence, and does so better than any other philosophy, religion or ideology. As does any worldview, a biblical worldview addresses where we come from, if there is purpose and meaning to life, how we decide truth from error and how we accumulate and apply knowledge. #worldview #biblicalworldview #bibleandculture #bibleandpolitics
