Education from the Biblical Worldview

Overview

The terms “worldview” and “biblical worldview” are now commonplace in North American Christianity, but it was not long ago when discussions about worldview were rare and limited. What has contributed to their resurgence? In this book, the Nehemiah Institute shows that worldview is intricately connected to childhood development, and implores Christians to reexamine their philosophy of education. This introductory course in the basic Christian philosophy of education examines the subtle connections between education and worldview. This course outlines possibilities for restoring Christian biblical education in contrast to pervasive humanist worldviews, and makes an ideal guide for personal and classroom study. Students, especially, will benefit from this resource.

Top Highlights

“Different worldviews produce different results. God’s way is the right way. He defines ‘right.’ Any way in conflict with God’s way is a wrong way. It behooves us as Christian educators to seek the mind of God on the subject of teaching and learning.” (Page 8)

“the basic sin of man wanting life without God. It is the rejection of God and the exaltation” (Page 14)

“the struggle now is for the hearts and minds of the people. It is a war over ideas” (Page 2)

“The Bible is not merely another book, an outmoded and archaic book, or even an extremely influential book” (Page 2)

“When he rejects God’s truth, he has to invent a substitute explanation for what he observes in this world” (Page 6)
