The biblical world view is the lens through which practicing Christians view the world. While a biblical worldview is best understood by perceiving the actions of those utilizing its framework, it holds that there is one God whom all of mankind is made in the image of, people ought to live their life in a christlike manner, and that the bible is the true foundation of a biblical worldview. Through a Christian philosophy of education, students are instructed to understand God, his word, fundamental subjects, and how to apply both to the real world and its issues. Further, students are not instructed from the framework of a Christian philosophy of education predominantly because that is their parents' religion, but because it can be and should …show more content…

Navigating life with a biblical worldview is essential both personally and in education, and its foundation will always be the word of the one true God.

To have a biblical worldview is to believe not only that there is one God in which all men are made in the image of, but that all people should seek to live their life like Christ. Christ certainly put it best when he succinctly explained in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” In the same fashion, the Bible is the foundation of the biblical worldview, and it should be studied and leaned on when one is in doubt, fo scripture is a form of divine revelation. In the end, God, through Scripture, defines all truth. In practice, having a biblical worldview necessitates an alternative understanding through its values and the perspective it provides. People who hold a biblical worldview apply it to every aspect of their life, not just their personal lives. The Word of God is followed in their relationships, people, decision making, careers, and so on. Tackett (2020) illustrated this point by saying those who take their own biblical worldview seriously follow the mandate in Romans 13 to honor authority (and God) by genuinely and rigorously researching candidates, …show more content…

Through the Christian Philosophy of Education, schools ought to teach through the lens of a biblical worldview. This aforementioned worldview must be protected and withstand corruption of “public” (state, or federal government) interest, while still regarding the ability to give a good well rounded education paramount. A Christian education safeguards against poisonous materialistic views of our fallen society, while tutoring its pupils to lean upon God and his word. While intuitively, this may seem like the stereotypical perspective of world fearing, hypercritical, doom and gloom religious zealots, it actually is best taught from a positive perspective. Living in a world with God, for God, is not only a positive way to live, but it is a superior way to live. (Schaeffer, 1982) Symbiotically pairing the practices, and perspective of a biblical worldview, with the ability to excel at reading, math, and science compared to the average school, is what a curriculum employing the Christian philosophy of education ought to strive for. In that same vein, a Christian education does not shy away from humanities, as an appreciation for human ideas, how to consciously utilize or ignore them, and showing how they fit into God's total framework of the truth, is a foundational component of a good christian education. As Schaeffer explained, “if truth is one, that is if truth has unity, then Christian education

The Fog of War: Breakdown Using Theories of International Relations Many influential leaders or people in positions of power make weighted decisions which could have a lasting impact on the world around them. When it comes to Robert McNamara, former Secretary of Defense to Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson during a 7-year term, the theory of Realism can explain his decision-making greatly, while Constructivism manages to explain a few decisions but to great and important effect.

Incorporation of elements of the modern or postmodern worldview is not compatible with the Christian worldview. Modern and postmodern worldviews are based on human ideas and rejection of God. The loss of the single story holding a community together has led to allowing everyone to create their own story (Sire, p. 216). This process was notated within the time frame of the Greco- Romans when Plato started to explain the order of the world without recourse to myth or divine authority (Goheen & Bartholomew, p. 72). Cultural acceptance of the belief there can be multiple perspectives allows for the

After the renewal of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s and since, religious education has changed from a wholly content-focused subject to a student-focused one; from learning off questions and answers to discussion of personal experience and response; and from difference being defined denominationally within the Christian tradition, to an acknowledgement of the variety of people today and respect for the diversity of their religions and beliefs. The current critique of denominational education and of denominational religious education in particular, risks undermining the place of this core subject in all schools, just at a moment when deeper reflection on religion, belief, spirituality and ethics could contribute enormously to the emergence
