Curriculum:
Biblical Worldview is a series of courses designed
to authenticate faith and learning in ways that can be actualized.
Class discussion is socratic and includes readings from a variety of contemporary and historical figures that have contributed to Western intellectual history (Machiavelli, Aristotle, Freud, Marx, Darwin,
Enlightenment figures, current editorial writers, etc.). As biblical truth is
placed in juxtaposition to these works, students are challenged to think critically in order to formulate their own biblically based worldview and lifestyle.
