Introduction

An educator who possesses a biblical worldview and a Christian philosophy of education means that the instructor views life, life’s purpose, and all of history from the standpoint of the Christian religion. For such an instructor, the Incarnation is the most important moment in all of history, because it is the moment in which God became Man and the beginning of the redemption of mankind was initiated. The biblical worldview incorporates into such a teacher’s perspective the Old Testament conception of human nature: the fall of man, through the first sin; the loss of the kingdom of Heaven; the consequence of sin being sickness and death; and the longing for eternal companionship with God, the Creator of all things.

Yet each of these frameworks subtracts from and distracts from the teachings of the Bible, which provide a cohesive and cogent assessment of reality. The Bible reminds us that we are not here to serve ourselves and our own desires but rather to honor and serve the will of God (John 12:26). The Bible teaches us that true happiness lies in union with God—not in material wealth, not in transitory pleasure, and not in thoughts of hatred or revenge or lust. Christ gives the example of fasting in the desert, denying the senses, combating Satan and fighting against temptation. He gives the example of forgiveness and true charity, showing the way towards God through love, compassion,…

Bible Paul's epistle to the Romans offers a thorough framework for what would become the Christian worldview. In Romans, Paul outlines core themes related to the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.
