Worldview: Book III in the Understanding the Times Series
In Worldviews, this third of our four-volume set, we explore the Christian worldview compared to five other worldviews while examining their answers to life’s biggest questions in areas like ethics, history, philosophy, politics, biology, and more. Worldview surveys today’s major worldviews of secularism, Marxism, postmodernism, new spirituality, and Islam compared to Christianity.
The design and goals for the Understanding the Times Series are based on the premise that no worldview curriculum can, or should, provide an exact model for Christian thinking and action. Rather, a worldview curriculum must present a framework of biblical truth and values, encourage students to reflect upon it, and provide opportunities for students to apply what they have learned. Ultimately, it is up to students to individually embrace biblical truth and to act upon it as they are enabled by the Holy Spirit. Within these parameters, the goal of the Understanding the Times Series is to help students develop a cohesive Christian worldview through which they can interpret the world around them and respond to it biblically in both their thoughts and actions. It prepares students to answer the big questions about God, the universe, people, truth, and right and wrong. The Understanding the Times Series also equips students to defend their faith as well as identify the inherent contradictions and false ideas of unbiblical worldviews.
