Be equipped to engage topics such as singleness, marriage, the meaning of sex, bioethics, and LGBT+ concerns



Defining Worldview


Definition: “The comprehensive framework of one’s basic beliefs about things.” - Al Wolters, Creation Regained, p.2


Prescientific/pretheoretical 






Worldview: Belief and action

Cognition vs. action: “Belief is a decisive factor in our lives even though our professed beliefs may be at variance with the beliefs that are actually operative in our lives” (Wolters, 6).
